Marathon plus tyres (the latest ones roll a lot better).

Durano plus. Same puncture protection but faster rolling. I never punctured a pair although some cuts left the blue layer showing through the rubber!

x2, I ran 28's on my Aether and they remained puncture free from the day I fitted them 6 years ago. Heavier than Gatorskins I think but not overly so, the SportContacts that were on before literally puntured from stones the size of roughcast.

conti protection tyres! Marathons are made of mahogany. I want something sticky. gp4000 on one bike, contacts on another. Both virtually puncture proof, both have good grip.

The travel contacts I pulled more than a dozen bits of glass out of them one service - no punctures
