Puncture protected tyres

[Chris S]

Does anybody know of any tyre manufacturer other than Schwalbe who add puncture protection to their tyres?
I'm looking for some ETRTO 590 (aka 650A and 26 x 1 3/8 inch) tyres at the moment.

Continental, Michelin, Vittoria to start with.

Are they all puncture protected like Schwalbe or is it just specific tyres?

Not all Schwalbe tyres have puncture protection.

Not all Schwalbe tyres have puncture protection.

Sorry, I forgot about their new basic range.

Do you have a choice of ETRTO 590 (aka 650A and 26 x 1 3/8 inch) tyres?

They're three different names for the same tyre size.

They're three different names for the same tyre size.

I mean, the only available tyres are crude 1970s style: Michelin World Tour, Nutrak, Halfords no-name.
None have modern features such as kevlar puncture protection. You have to take what you can find in this size.

Schwalbe Delta Cruisers and Marathons are available in 650A and I'd be amazed if Vredestein didn't have a puncture protected tyre. It's still a popular size for town bikes.

I have a set of these on one bike - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Meghna-26...-Deals-/301535584436?var=&hash=item4634ebe0b4 and the amount of thorns I've pulled out of them over the course of 2,500 miles would suggest they do a pretty decent job of avoiding punctures for not much money.

Having said that, I have had just one punctures on my other regular bike with this size running Michelin World tour in ~3,500 mi and they are more flexible and supple than the tyres with kevlar. Unless you ride somewhere with a lot of puncture hazards, I would just go with decentist quality normal tyres like the Michelins.

That puncture protection has so far carried me away over 3000 miles without incident.

I use Bontrager AW1Hard-case or Hard Case Lite tyres, I used to use the now discontinued Bontrager Race Lite Hardcase tyres, they don't stop the punctures completely but reduce them considerable.
