@Stefano
Just wanted to report the best training tyres for puncture resistance according to last Cycling + magazine:
Best:
Schwalbe Durano plus (actual weight 420g for the 700x25)
2nd
Continental Gator Hardshell (actual weight 340g for the 700x25)
3rd
Michelin Krylion Carbon (actual weight 240g for the 700x23)
for comparison in an older C + test, best puncture "almost impregnable":
Schwalbe Marathon plus (actual weight 708g!! for the 700x25)
also the company data for
Halo Courier Berlin (claimed waight 420 for the 700x24)
It looks that both Schwalbe + tyres are much heavier than claimed in reality..40g more for the Durano +, 118g more for the Marathon +, though they look the toughest!! I could not find a comparison test including the Halo Courier Berlin but I would imagine they come after the two Schwalbe + and before the Continental Gator Hardshell and Michelin Krylion Carbon. the last is more of a long lasting tyre with some good protection (I know this after 1000s of miles)...all the others are very tough tyres...
