OK slight change in ideas from the other day.. been down the LBS and he's got some panracer cross towns in stock. They look meaty enough, but I wonder if anyone knows how pucture resistant they are compared with the Marathon plus?

They also look like they'll take the rain well.

Any one used these?

    not used them but looking at the weights they look close enought.

    I installed th crosstowns on sunday and have ridden a coupla times with them. Pretty good grip - though it has no arrows or indications to show which way around the tread is supposed to go, so I treated the little points in the center of the triangular tread as "forward".

    The other issue is the max 85psi, but I'll live with that during the winter. :D Its had no real tests glass-wise so far, but for 20 quid I can always change or install some protective strips.
