I now am trying a Kevlar belted Primo Comet.

This summer I had a Kevlar belted Primo Comet blow out on me at about 20
mph. The tire had less than 200 miles on it and it was inflated to 100
psi. The way it blew out left it unusable afterwards. It was the front
tire, which made control of the bike very difficult. What I found ironic
is that it replaced a regular Primo Comet that had gone over 5000 miles
with very few flats.
