Which brand have you found to be good at resisting a puncture for 700x28c tyres?

Just had 2 in 3 days on good old English tarmac :x

    There's no such thing as a pucture restant inner tube..

    If a sharp gets through the tire any make of tube is going to puncture.

    You can get the slime ones although I've never bothered as you can still get flats. I think tyre choice is more important.

    It's different off road where you get 'snakebites' when you hit rocks hard - in that case thicker tubes do help. On road it doesn't really apply in the same way. Just make sure you get the right size tubes i.e. for thicker tyres.

    I rate swalbe inner tubes generally but I don't think that there's much difference.

    kevlar tyre liners help, but tbh you're best off just buying some marathon plusses.
