Tyres for roads and cycle paths
What's your views on the best? I've got Geax Street Runners with kevlar
puncture pro. They've done me well and I've not suffered from punctures. Is there anything better around? Maud |

Tyres for roads and cycle paths
I've heard extremely good reviews of Schwalbe "Marathon" tires for touring
and "Big Apple" tire for city riding. Most importantly though, what's your definition of "better?" You've got a set of tires that haven't failed. If you like how they ride, why switch?

They do have a kevlar belt, but the Plusses have an extra-thick section to absorb direct poke-through of stuff like drawing pins which can defeat most anti-puncture bands. I've had a couple of punctures on the Streetmachine and a couple on the Brom in ~ 4 years of running both of them. Not anything like close enough to a problem to think hard about moving to the Plus version for where I ride.
