Puncture, the problem is that the sidewall aren't meant to come in contact with the tarmac, especially when cornering and get cut up quite easily, we had a fair numbers of customers finding this out the hard way because the Trek road bike have wide rims as standard, the remedy for this is naturally a bigger contis that have slightly less of a U shape.
Durano are decent tyres and have a reasonably tough sidewall, the Durano Plus is possibly the toughest road tyres you can get, but not comfortable at all according to my ex colleague.
