People seem to convince themselves that because they're going on a tour they're suddenly going to get more punctures than they would do normally. Obviously if you're off trekking in remote places with terrible roads this may be the case, but if you're riding on regular roads in reality you're no more likely to puncture than on your commute. Sometimes less so as there may be less glass and crap on the roads.
I'm sticking with my Maxxis Refuse 25's for now. I've hardly had any punctures on them and at least if I do they're easy as pie to take off and they don't weigh a ton and make the bike feel slow. :]
