  • The lower the pressure, the less likely a glass will pierced through, the wider the tyres, the more surface area = weight distributed more evenly, lowered the likelihood even further.

    Has this actually been tested anywhere ?

    People used to claim the 320tpi Vittoria's where less prone to punctures because as they where supple they deformed around any nasty objects in the road. In my experience they're the most puncture prone tyres I have owned
    Anecdotally the rubber compound, the amount of rubber and the puncture protection strip make far more of a difference.

  • Good question -I'm up to 2.000 miles on Vittoria 320tpi (open corsa cx 25c) @80psi with 3 punctures total.
