I've spent countless hours reading reviews on various types of tyres for my road bike with the result that I am totally indecisive about which ones I should go for. Here's my situation: I own a Specialized Secteur Road Bike, had it almost 4 weeks and have had 2 punctures in the past week. I don't commute so it's purely for evening or weekend rides and it is seriously annoying to have punctures literally 4 miles into a planned 30 mile ride. I now have lower confidence in my bike as I'm afraid of getting a puncture down a fast hill. I only ride on decent tarmac roads so am worried that I've been getting punctures on good surfaces. I don't know the name of the standard tyres that come with my bike as I'm at work right now but would appreciate your advice on the best tyres to go for that will allow me to ride comfortably on decent length rides but have puncture protection. I am fairly fit and ride at a decent pace, averaging 16mph so don't want something that will slow me down and make it harder to ride. Thanks in advance.
