Anti-Puncture Tyres At-a-glance

I should mention that I have normally run the Halo Courier Berlin tyres at a minimum of 120psi to a maximum of 130psi (this was preferred for me). The over-inflation didn't harm performance of those tyres, but enhanced them. I would use 130psi on the rear only. The front I would run at anything from 100psi (dropping to 80-90psi when I forgot to check), to 120psi. I find that the halo Courier Berlin performs very well when slightly over-inflated. However, it is an individual experience, and I'd only recommend this sort of inflation levels for the heavier rider. The sidewalls on the Courier Berlin tyres are massively strong. Though I did have a sidewall blowout, I believe that it was from damage I had caused by taking a corner through glass shards. For a very light person, the Courier Berlin could be ridden when losing air, and nearly flat. The sidewalls are that strong.

Great advice. I had 3 'Oh, shit' moments on my way to work the other day riding with a Courier Berlin on the rear, just broke away when cornering. Scared the crap out of me, especially since I binned it 2 weeks ago when the rear slid out and tore up my knee, I rode home like a nervous schoolgirl.

Was ready to chuck the tyre away as I'd lost all confidence in it then I read this, went and checked the pressure. Whadda ya know was down to 100psi. Pumped it back up to 125 and rides like a dream again.
