Getting shitloads* on these myself. Discuss.

* technical term.

do they still make these or are they 10yr old ?
(maybe they perish?)

They are indeed still available.

Depends where you ride.

Is it thorns or glass?

Ran the Cinder 2.25 on a Mtb F&R a few yrs back, rode it like I stole it everywhere round the Peak, Marin, Penmachno, Llandegla etc.. and wouldn’t say I got any more than the lads I was riding with.
Maybe your just unlucky

thorns. no pinch punctures. I pick a line and ride light not blindly crash through everything.

I found pressures were massively important when using panaracer stuff in the past..

took bloody ages to get um to feel right.

I like Panaracer tyres cheap and reliable

I found Cinders to be pretty tough. No puncture issues. I use Rampages now as they are a bit faster

No problems with mine. If it’s thorns then any tyre would suffer, shirley.

Been using Cinder 2.1 for about the last year, very pleased with them. Had lots of punctures when I used Decathlon tubes in them (false economy!), no problems since switching to continental tubes.

I have found the same as Gibby. Been running 2.1s for years and depends a lot on the quality of inner tube you use with them. I ride Malverns lots of granite so occasionally pinch puncture them, but if you are finding thorns a problem try chaning the tubes. They are great in the wet at places like Afan.
Have just ordered some PR Rampages as the Cinders are quite an old design now hoping they are even better.
