So far I have had good experiences with tires from schwalbe that are designed to be more resistant to punctures - so if you have frequent issues I recommend looking into that! | |

| Jun 30, 2020 at 7:43 | comment | added | Luaan | It should probably be noted that just a couple decades earlier, car tires were far more likely to puncture - probably a combination of better roads, better tire materials, better puncture protection (e.g. many car tires have steel protection nowadays), maybe even cleaner roads, thicker and wider tires... Back when I was a kid, every driver had plenty of experience changing a punctured tire. Nowadays, many cars don't even have a lever to lift the car up (though part of that is probably that people will call for assistance anyway, rather than trying to fix their car). | |
