The second set got stolen with the bike shortly after I installed them. For an inexpensive hybrid tread tire though, that's a pretty good deal, even if they don't last too long.<BR/><BR/>The Bontrager Hard Case tires I run on The Twelve have only been punctured once, and that beast of a nail would have hurt ANY tire. I didn't have to put a boot in it, either. Just slapped a Park Tool Glueless patch on and took off. That's a $40 retail tire, though. It's also a 25c road tire, good for summer commuting, but squirrely in the slushy bad weather season.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271155305943176738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428846429061232469.post-3148479162215655082008-12-09T00:00:00.000-08:002008-12-09T00:00:00.000-08:00I use the Armadillos on my commuter bike and yes t...I use the Armadillos on my commuter bike and yes they are expensive, but I love the reliability. Over 3000 miles and no flats. Other tires whcih claim to be "puncture resistant" but have never lived up to the claim... until I bought the Armadillos. <BR/><BR/>Best money I ever spent on tires.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428846429061232469.post-42902850282633300242008-12-08T21:15:00.000-08:002008-12-08T21:15:00.000-08:00That looks like a good tire.

This is a much better price than the Scwhalbes that I would consider buying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
