Larger surface area surely increases the risk as there is more area that could run over glass shards.
I have 700x35, or 38, can’t remember. Had 1 flat on the front wheel in the entire lifespan of the outer tread. Second outer tyre now and nothing so far.
i’ve got 20 and 24 inchers and i live in goats head country. i cannot keep them inflated for the life of me. I am this close to just putting solid rubber blocks on my wheels
Marathon plus touring tyres is what I use and it isn’t far off solid rubber blocks. But with the amount of broken glass on my commute its probably worth it.
i’ve got those tannis inserts and i somehow got a flat directly through the thick part of the insert last month. i blame my vile sister in law who was visiting. my wife’s bike got a flat while we weren’t riding somehow too.
ps my cat says t n mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
pps i really should have gotten y’all’s input before buying generic orange tyres last week. they’re orange tho!
Yeah, plus no fat bikes at all!
Why no fat tires? I’m thinking about getting some just because they look easier to maintain
why would they be easier to maintain?
Because they should get fewer flats. Larger surface area and all that.
