Can anyone suggest any "good" puncture protection tyres for a road bike, prefrably colur coded if possible. I have been looking at gator skins but these only come in black
thanks[:)]

    Continental GP 4000's are good if a bit pricey. Lots of colors to choose from.

    Been quite impressed with my Michelin Krylions. There is tons of broken glass on my daily commute and even crunched over half a glass bottle with both wheels the other day and the tyres have held out fine so far. Seem very grippy too. Only let down is the price.

    I'd vote for the GP 4000s.

    Another vote for Michelin Krylions.

    One puncture in about 1000km (London roads) and that was a massive piece of glass. Tyre kept it's shape.

    Roll quite well and come in a few colours.


    If it wasn't for hangovers, I'd ride everyday.
