Puncture proof tyres?? Any good??

[Visage77]

So puncture proof tyres for a hybrid/trekking bike? Are they worth it? Expensive or not? Which are the good ones? Thanks

Marathon Plus. Almost completely bomb-proof. I did have one puncture when a nail went into the side wall, but that was a freak Act of God. People say that they are heavy and slow. That's as maybe, but they are very good if you want to avoid punctures.

I've used them too, for about 8 years, and they are almost completely puncture-proof. I use them on both my commuter and road bikes.

Puncture proof tyres, now that's a good idea, where can I buy them from?

Don't knock it 'till you've tried it. Actually this is a troll fest Internet forum, so knock yourself out.

Have you tried them? No, thought not.

Very true.

Picture resistant. Even the best pneumatics aren't totally immune.

I haven't tried them yet, they are a little expensive for me but would really like to give them a go.
I tagged your name simply so you could share your experience with the OP.

I'm not sure why your reply sounds a bit rude?
Am I missing something here?

I've had them on a hack bike and thought they were awful - harsh ride and pretty frightening on corners. Cut em off and stuck on Conti 4 seasons. Beware you need to be properly HENCHED to get the things on the rims.

I have Marathon plus on the CX and are, so far, delighted with them. The roll fine as far as I can tell. I am not the fastest rider though. I have Gatorskins on the roadie, also with no problems although I live in dread of a P on them as my hands are really pants nowadays and the Gatorskins were a bugger to fit

No, you're spot on. He's rude.
