Well thats it. I've finally got a puncture from an external object. The 2 previous punctures were pinch-flats. To me, the Halo Courier Berlin's have certainly proved themselves, as being the most puncture resistant tyres I've ever used.....and by a long chalk.
I'll keep using them, but am now ready to try more tyres, and hope their puncture protection is nearly as good, if not better. Certainly I feel that the tall and unusual shape to the Courier Berlin is fine for puncture protection, and also its hard-wearing abilities, but it means handling is made to suffer somewhat. I miss the predictability of my beloved Continental Grand Prix 4000 tyres.
Next up for me to try will be any of these:
**Continental Supersport Plus **
**Schwalbe Durano Plus **
**Panaracer RibMo **
Who's ridden any of these, and can compare them to other tyres for puncture protection?
I'm tempted to start with the Contis, as Evans are selling them for just under £20.oo...then move onto the others later. I think the most similar in their technological makeup would be the Courier Berlin, Supersport Plus, and the Durano Plus.
