Might have been adressed but out of curiosity, which tires did you use (and more particularly width: 25C? 28C? 32C?)

Used a range of tyres from 25 to 28.

Started on tubeless 25 Panaracer tyres. Then a 25 Gatorskin on the front at Melbourne. THINK I changed the rear tyre in Sydney to some lightweight tyre a friend gifted me in Adelaide. That lasted to Brisbane. Then on the rear I had a Maxxis Relix in 25. In Darwin, for the last ~4000km, I swapped both front and rear, front was a 28 Maxxis Refuse and rear was 28 Schwalbe Durano Pro.

Probably had about 4-5 punctures throughout the course of the full ride. I also feel like I missed out on remembering a tyre change but whatever lol.

Thanks for the reply. Interesting as everybody recommends tires as big as possible for touring these days :) congratulations on the achievement btw
