Best Puncture Tyre For A 700 x 23c?

[Atyl1972]

cant have the marathon+ due to the size of my road tyre so does anyone else have any suggestions for my tyre size 700x23c?

 

[potsy]

Schwalbe Durano+ are the racing version of the M+, decent enough for me on my commute.
I have a normal Durano on the front though

Bontrager racelite hardcase, bombproof coming up for a year now(fingers crossed).

 

[Kestevan]

Michellin Krylion Carbon.

Not only seriously tough, but lightish and rolls well too.

Spesh Armadillo Elites are pretty bombproof. Have been commuting on these through the nasty SE London street for a couple of years now and can count the number of punctures on one hand over that time.

But whatever tyre you choose, the best thing you can do is get into the habit of checking your tyres at the end of the days commute. Dig out any glass, flints, whatever that may work their way in. Especially after a wet commute. You will be surprised what you can dig out of a tyre. It's takes a minute to check and can save you the grief of a future puncture.

I usually wipe them with baby wipes. It takes seconds and it is easier to check them when they are clean.

+1 on these. Have had none for 8ish months with these

If you want a coloured tyre Vredestein Tricomps come highly recommended. I've been running them for a few weeks now & am happy so far

 

[Willo]

Specialized armadillos have served me v.well

 

[iesous77]

Vredestein Fortezza or Panaracer Extreme Evo 3 (now under the name race type A)

Continental gatorskins (folding bead version) are good all round general riding tyres, recommended for rough roads, pot-holes etc..

Continental grand prix 4000 have better grip, are lighter and faster rolling, but have less puncture protection. These are good road tyres, but I'd avoid if your road cycling is mostly on pot-holed lanes or city streets decorated with broken glass.

Vittoria rubino pro or specialized armadillo! Either will do you very well.
