Probably a popular question on here somewhere but......
With the state of the roads (not all of them) pot holes / loose gravel im struggling with tyre wear / punctures. So just wandering what tyres are most strong / reliable. Im not to bothered about weight. My orro pyro can take upto 28mm width. I daily do 10 mile commuting to work & back. Any help would be grateful. Thanks 🚲

Currently several threads chasing similar themes as yours.
My personal choice is IRC Formula pro xguards tyres but I'm running tubeless.

Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

Being the fat b'stard I am, weight is never an issue.
I was hoping to get another month or two out of the Conti GP5000's I'd bought at the start of the summer, but can only assume that being a fatty has killed them prematurely.
Think I will still get a set of marathons too.
Cheers guys!!
