So having to step up my search for a replacement set of tires - earlier I'd asked about a fairly fast and robust 28mm set to replace my pretty new Veloflex Corsa for extra puncture protection, now I'm having to as the Veloflex clearly don't like my rims - twice I had a side blowout yesterday and had another one a week or so ago. Not taking any other chances and sadly I don't have any narrower rimmed wheels to play safer. Might stick those for sale later (with a full disclosure about the seating issues).
Very tempted by the Michelin Power Road as they review very well and don't break the bank but part of me dies a bit at the thought of abandoning tan wall in the name of being sensible (and other tires which would normally be available in tan not being available because covid).
Decisions decisions... 🤔
