Good point. I ride through some sketchy streets with potholes, broken glass and all sorts of flotsam. My Surly Big Dummy uses Schwalbe Marathons (26 x 1.75) and I've yet to flat on those in three years. My All-Rounder WAS using Pasela TG's until today; I got a fast leak just as I getting ready to leave the shop. First a replaced the tube. Half a block away, another flat. Returned to the shop, replaced both the tube and worn rear tire; now I'm trying out the Rubena city tire (26 x 1.75) that's similar to the Marathon. So far it feels okay; I think if I don't run it super-hard it might feel a little better on the road. I also don't think I'll get many flats with this tire, it's fairly beefy (though not as heavy as the Schwalbe). I'll report back after the first 200 miles or so.
