Best puncture resistant tyre after schwalbe marathon plus please?

i've used marathons ont bike for about three puncture free years.

i now find that a replacement is due on the front, but Schwabes are a bit expensive - any advice ?

If you have had three puncture free years I'd bite the bullet and stick with the Schwalbes. I've seen them for about eighteen quid and you won't pay much less for anything else anyway.

You'd seriously curse the couple of quid you saved the first time you stood by the roadside in the pissing rain with a broken tyre lever and skinned knuckles.

try the normal ones I had those on my old mtb they were good and not so hard to get on.

I thought exactly the same

What size? I've got a pair 26" X 1.35" pluses that I couldn't get on with. Probably less than 500 miles, definitely less than 1,000. Never punctured, no cuts. About £20 the pair if you're interested, I'd have to check postage.

+2, how much is puncture free cycling worth?

+3, stick to what you know works. I'm on my third set of Specialized Numbus.

+1 Bontrager racelight hardcases. 1 puncture in 3000+ miles.
However, rubeer is quite soft, and is prone to superficial cuts/peels.
Excellent grip in the rain.

I liked my racelites too, although they did puncture once (a thin bit of metal, like one arm of a staple - a bugger to find too).

Conti Gator Skins have been ok for me too, although I don't like them in the wet at all.
