Well, it's like this. I used to commute on an old (steel) MTB with SMPs to avoid having to change flats to/from work. When I got my Sam Hillborne this summer I treated myself to a set of Marathon Supremes. Riding home in the rain today I got a Puncture!!! Not a pinch flat, not a bad valve stem, a puncture.
Unacceptable! What if I had been late for work? Couldn't find the culprit so I washed and dried the tire in my kids' bathtub (never done that before, seems like a good idea though) and ended up mounting an almost new Pasela TG I had in the closet. So, did I just get unlucky or are the Supremes not good enough for the roads around here? Are Paselas any better or do I need to go back to SMPs? Vital stats - puncture was in the rear tire (where else?) with about 2000 km on it, 80 psi. I know some people are willing to accept the occasional flat if the tires offers exceptional comfort or speed or whatever. That's fine for them, I just want to get to work and home again without getting my hand dirty.
