Hi i need a bit advice i have a lapierre raid 200 mtb and i have recently started commuting home from work on it. The distance is around 11-11.5 miles now the problem i am having is punctures, my ride home from work is mainly on road/some old railway lines hard packed surface etc. i have in the past 4 weeks had around 5 punctures.

Can anyone recommend a tyre etc or what too do too prevent punctures etc the bike has on schwalbe black jacks 26x21.25 size.

I have fitted heavy duty inner tubes ie the slighly thicker ones but i still keep getting them.

And also do many commuters tend too wear the anti pollution masks part of my ride home from work is slap bang through the middle of sunderland city centre and its bloody hard too breath

For off-road check out this link http://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/off-road_tires many to choose. I am not into MTB, but I have had several Schwalbe tyres in my road/hybrid bikes and I find them unbeatable regarding puncture protection. Marathon Plus MTB HS 412 ?
