Sounds kinda cool, but I installed a pair of these almost two years ago and haven't gotten a single flat since:

I used to get a flat a month. And they ride just like any other tire.

They look pretty good! Quite a bit lighter than the Marathon Plus (which is their biggest criticism) which is a good thing, but of course a thinner puncture protection.

A Marathon Plus in 700x32c is only £24.48 with free delivery here on Amazon

That is what I would get for only £1.59 more.

Nice. I haven't used that particular version of Schwalbe Marathon tires, but I'm sure they're great.

These are the ones I use. I like the tread pattern and these are the ones that people say are "bomb-proof". I commute 20 miles a day and I've ridden over all sorts of crap (LOTS of glass on my commute!) and the tires simply don't care. In fact, whenever I run over large glass fields I swear I hear the tires say "lol".

Thanks.

While I've got you, what's the difference between these two tires.

wire bead

other?

What does "wire bead" mean and why do/don't I want it?
