JBs are great tires, but nowhere near as good as the Supremes at resisting punctures

I agree....I think I need mega puncture proofness though. Are the JB tires good in that way or would a Marathon Supreme be a better choice? I'm still hovering at 258 and 35mm is narrow for me but on pavement they seem fine. I just had an annoying experience with a staple and my commute is filled with all kinds of junk on the side of the road. Do you think the Green guard Marathon is a better tire for that than the pricey Supreme? Money really isn't a deciding factor I just want good performance and puncture protection.
