The Marathon Plus are excellent puncture proof but this is more of a leisure bike so I want it more comfortable. I think the widest they do in the M+ is 28c.
Bear in mind the bike is a hybrid - not a road bike. I have found some of the Armadillo Elites at a reasonable price but in hybrid form they seem to be a standard 700 x 38c size.
Are they significantly better and worth the extra overthe standard Armadillos?
The wider the tyre, the easier the fit. I always use wooden clothes pegs. V handy, they clip underneath the saddle.... Oh and where can I get decent non plastic tyre levers from?...
