Cheers Swedeee,
I don't commute, training rides around the Chilterns 3 times a week.
I have Conti 5000 STLR (summer tyres) and have been getting multiple punctures every outing.
Is the 4000s better puncture protection?
CheBeef-
Conti 5000 are very delicate. Even Vittoria corsas do better in my limited experience.

wtf? how? are they really worn?
i actually meant 5000s.. 4000s have been superceded by the 5000s. i run 28s with tubes though. yet to have a puncture over over 2500mi (touch wood!)
Netakure
swedeee
no because they are shit and a complete con! conti 4000s i ride as winter tyres. feel they are hardier than vittorias (which i absolutely love and ride in summer)....
obv it depends on what you are using the bike for.. if it is just for commuting i would go for even hardier tyres
