Tyre choice is the schrodinger's cat situation but there are instead a million cats and the cats are actually tyres.
For any one person the cat (tyre) is both completely impervious to punctures and also completely susceptible to punctures. It's only after you open the box (put tyres on a wheel and ride it) that you will learn which state these tyres are for you.
After typing out i'm not sure the analogy works but i'll stick with it.
