Sick of punctures, What tyres

So this past three week i have had 12 punctures a mixture of front but mainly on the rear, i have been using GP5000 , so im looking to try another set of tyres that i can use all year around on the road. What are you guys using?

    If you are having that many in a week it means you still have whatever caused the first one still in your tyre.
  • Marathon Supremes on the commuter from Merlin, that I will swap out for 45Nrth Gravdals if there are Met Office ice warnings. The road bike has GP5000s fitted on the wheels, but it's not been outside since October 11th, due to a four week flu and then winter arrived! :o:'(

    Tyres checked everytime, glass and thorns have been removed. the position of punctures have been different everytime

    Can't help you then. It's not the tyres themselves though.

    Could be the tyres, if they're old an getting thin, but then gp5ks are not the most resistant in the first place.

    I had the same problem at hedge-cutting season, someone suggested using slime in the inner tubes rather than buying new tyres. Obviously adds a little weight, but the very next ride I had yet another thorn through, only this time a little splat of blue around it, and no measurable (on my track pump, so not the most sensitive, but still) loss of pressure :)

    Given that it's about a fiver for the slime, doesn't cost much to give it a go.

    The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

    I use Michelin Pro4 endurance - they are more robust than a summer tyre, but still nice to ride on.
    I have used slick gravel king 32s as well and they felt surprisingly nice as a road tyre.

    New rim tape needed?

    Marathon plus on the rear, slow as fluck but don’t need to worry about punctures.

    New continential rim tape fitted last week. even swapped the tyres rear to front

    Could be worn out, but that's not a fault of the tyres as such.

    I use them all year round in Scotland. Lot of shit on the roads round here.

    If they are anywhere close to the wear limit they need replacing.

    I ran those tubeless and had a flat every other ride, tried two different types of sealant but gave up on them. Felt good as you say, but way too fragile for me.

    I used them for a winter, but tubed, and had no issues at all.

    Maybe I should try them tubed, was wary of it after the supposed miracle that is tubeless.
