Wire and Folding Tyres - Difference?

[earth]

They can't be from Cornwall otherwise they would be called just 'pasties'. To call them 'Cornish Pasties' means it must be a special cornish variety.

Off topic:

I asked at the LBS why they did not make Bontrager Hardcase tyres in a folding format and they said the carcass was too thick and it wouldn't fold. If they made it thinner it would not be puncture proof.

My PR3's however are a folding tyre and have incredible puncture resistance. So it seems you can have your pasty and eat it, cornish or not.

Is the PR3 you refer to the Michelin Pro3?

Yes


Over 1000 miles on them and only one puncture in the rear. Not to many cuts either.
