Puncture proof/resistant bicycle tyres?

there are thorn-resistant tubes you can buy. ask your local bike shop if they have any. my shop carries Pyramid tubes. they cost twice as much as normal tubes (about $10 each). they are about 3 times bigger and 4 times heavier, but the only thing that will stop you is a big nail. these tubes hold out against glass and everything else sharp. i dont use them anymore because they are so heavy.

there are also tire which have a higher thread count like 127tpi (threads per square inch) instead of 66tpi. it helps with punctures ever so slightly and is not worth the extra dollars.

you shouldnt use the tubes unless your running a downhill setup. these tubes dont belong on normal bikes and they drop efficiency and make pedaling harder.

There is no such thing any tyre will puncture but u can get "slime" a green gel type stuff that u put inside tyres, this will offer some protection or tyres with a higher durometer rating for the rubber will help but only solid tyres wud be puncture proof,

There are thorn resistant tubes, which are heavier weight and less prone to puncture. Any regular bike shop should have those. As for tires, usually MTB tires are very puncture proof, so I've never seen extra strength tires or anything. Otherwise, just be careful about running over glass, nails or whatever. MTB tires are durable, but there are limits.

Don't get anything from Halfrauds whatever you do! They're amateurs regarding bikes!

The best puncture-proof tyres are Schwalbe Marathons or Schwalbe Big Apples. The Apples are huge, so check your clearances to make sure they fit. However, they soak up loads of bumps, so act like suspension on your bike.

Not cheap, but quality never is. Check 'em out!

Do a search for "Big Apple" on Wiggle - a great bike shop...

I've been riding Continental Ultra 2000 on the road for the past couple of years with pretty good luck. I didn't like the slime-filled tubes they have. The one time I tried it, the tube blew a hole before the tire even got up to pressure and then it didn't seal itself like they claim. They also make tire liners to place between the tube and tire (One Brand name" "Mr. Tuffy", there are probably others) Check with your local bike shop for these. There is probably no guarantee of puncture proof, the best you can hope for is puncture resistant!

Halfords sell a foamy gel type stuff that they almost guarantee to keep you free of punctures, however after buying two not inexpensive bikes from them, the aftersales service we received from them was nothing short of shocking, strangely enough, this was to do with getting punctures on the inside of the inner tube from poorly manufactured wheel rims

The Halford's gel filling works really well, 2 years now in one of the tyres and still going !

your best bet is to contact a good bike dealer and explain the terain you intend to ride and the conditions you ride in. They will be able to advise on the different variety out there, cos some are great in the wet but naff in the dry and all have different features to suit the terain you will ride.

What kind of tyres are you after fella? MTB knobblies, slicks, racer tyres?
