As above suggestions please, have tried some Hutchinson Touring ones which are a little thicker but still puncturing around here in S Wales with the rocks.
Have messed with pressures and am running brand new Rocket Rons, so that end of things is covered so different tubes needed.

Run Schwalbe landcruiser tyres at 65-70 psi!

It's what the puncture prone run on the three peaks to avoid flats.

Is it mostly pinch flats or more 'penetrating injuries'?

Thick latex ones not the ones you get the benefits of latex flexibility and better pinch resistance but not the weakness then thinness of the supposedly top ones.

Or if you go for a normal one what with over dimensioning it take one for a size about 25% bigger(width that is) then what you should ride so that inflated stretch and weakness is low.

I presume you are using tubes that match the tyre width. Use a narrow tube in a wide tyre the tube stretch and is more puncture prone.

I always use Conti tubes and have never had a pinch flat. Conti do the Tour28 Slim and the Tour28 All for wider tyres. For up to 35c tyres Tour28 Slim is fine.

Maybe you should just keep away from the free-ride area ๐Ÿ˜€

Thanks for the replys, think I'll try some Conti tubes as I'm too tight to buy a set of tubeless wheels and tyres, well until the brand new Rockets have worn out ๐Ÿ˜‰
Coatesy, shhhh!
