+1 on this, with the Marathon Supreme. I know what's happening next time I get on the bike now though...

Changed to them at start of the summer. 4 or 5 punctures so far.

Agreed on all re Marathons - no punctures, but not an overly pleasant ride, and they feel sketchy in the wet; manhole covers will start to scare you.
Gatorskins are a great mix of performance and protection, particularly in the wet.

Same experience, Marathon plus should ideally be reserved when you have no other choice. Though I have 35mm tyres, and on wider tyres, it might not be as bad. But would have no problem going back to it if I had a puncture every two month.

HiHi my fabulous LFGSS members!
Just want to start a casual chat on how you all prevent punctures?
To kick of the conversation, I have a question that I have been pondering on...
Q>Do you feel it is worth changing the rims/tyres to a tubeless setup to avoid punctures OR
you can get the same/similar puncture protection with an inner tube setup with a good puncture protective tyre like the Marathon Plus????
Slightly gearing towards the latter....but what do you all think?
