I am just wanting to know which are the best tyres to get for myself i am a bit bigger than your average bear and as i have not yet had a punture on my new kona i just want to know any recommendations off people. Which tyre is best for not getting a punture or is there a rock solid innertube that you can get. I mainly do xc and some road and the occasional trail on my mountain bike.

    sealing tubes are heavy because of the slime stuff inside.

    Sounds like your current tyres are doing the job...

    i have Panaracer fire xc pro 2.1 and light slime tubes which were from Rutland cycling, slightly pricey for what they are but 3 punctures last year says it all for me and i ride mainly xc with a few trips to Cannock aswell
