Best tires for the city, they say: slicks that puncture if you look at them wrong.
The city: where every street is littered with glass.
I've been lucky but I think it helps that my tires are a little knobbly.
the only "they" possible here is the fixie community and you really have to stop listening them for a variety of reasons.
Don't forget moneybags roadies that buy a new set of tires every 6 months!
Best tires for the city are schwable marathons or continental contact plus. Slicks are nice for well paved roads with no trash, so no where.
Yeah those continentals are great. The schwalbes are basically tanks and are great for tank purposes.
highly dependable on location. if you live in 70s new york those marathosn are for you, otherwise every other tyre made heaps and bounds as per puncture protection without feeling like you're trying to drag a sand over rock
I rode a bike with mostly slick city tires for years without a single puncture, then I had incredibly shitty luck and in the span of a few months managed to hit like 6 glass shards. I just got this bike a few weeks ago
Oof sorry friend.
I've had good luck with schwalbe and continental, they tend to have models resistant to puncture and they aren't too focused on "pro performance" (disposable but grippy).
This time I was left stranded about 10 km from home and I had to walk the bike to a friend's house. Usually, the punctures I get are so small that the air escapes slowly enough that I can get all the way home only to discover a completely flat tire the next day.
Anyway, I decided to try patching the tube instead of replacing it this time which proved to be much less of a hassle and something that I could do on the road in the future, so it was a valuable experience
