I use the country lanes around the village, very little traffic but they are not well maintained, badly filled pot holes and covered with stones that have washed down across the road, and I mean loads of stones so I am amazed that I have done so well..
The tyres are just the standard Scwalbe Smart Sam tyres that came with the bike but I think when I do changed the tyres either when they wear out or if I do get a lot of punctures I may go the Smart Sam Plus or Marathon Greenguard route, but more puncture protection.
Can't do tubeless as the wheels are not compatible, although 3 in 2 years is not a major issue as long as it stays that way lol
Scwalbe do not do a 700 x 42C now so may drop to 38 or 40 as I use it just on roads..
I had some WTB tyres, I had a couple of flats on them , I got some Smart SAM’s in now , no punctures , less road noise and better MPH ,
Very happy with them 😉
