Flat protection is TOTALLY priority for me. I *ducks head here* don't know how to change flats and don't really want to learn. I just want tires that do exactly what my last Continental tires did - give me zero trouble. I rode those tires thousands of miles and never a flat.
So, tell me what Schwalbes I should get. My tires are 38, I think. You know what I want, just tell me what to order. As far as the bike shop, I don't think I want to ask them to help me with an exchange. I know how hard it is for businesses to make money, and the mechanics were really nice, and I didn't specify what tires to put on the bike, so it's mostly my fault. I did ask what they thought to put on there when I initially dropped off the bike and the mechanic said, "How about the same tires you have on already?" so I thought they were going with that. But I didn't TELL them, and I ought to have. The issue likely came when the owner got involved. When I came for the bike, I asked about the tires and the owner was all excited about these tires he had chosen for my bike and he said so. He's a genuine roadie and all the stereotypical stuff that goes with that, so our preferences are polar opposites. Lesson learned! Know what you want and politely ask for it.
