So, needed a pair of all year round fast commuting tyres. Bought the Panaracer Gravel King and yeh, they're fast. But as soon as it started to rain, you only have to look at them and they puncture.
Anybody had a similar experience?
Cheers,
Paddy
If you don't enjoy fixing roadside punctures (and I don't), then fit a pair of Marathons and check the treads regularly for embedded objects. I've been running a set for a year and a half on really crappy roads with no visits from the Fairy. Contrary to what some will tell you, M's roll perfectly OK too and have adequate grip. The only unavoidable feature of them is they are heavy tyres, but why would a commuter care about weight shaving? The important thing is arriving at your destination on time, without having to stop to fix your bike on the way.
