A long time ago in a land far, far away I met up with New Mexico's goat thorns.

These resilient plants' defenses managed to regularly interrupt my rides in and around Albuquerque and up the Sandia Peak to Santa Fe. I was not grateful. But I did learn techniques to reduce the number of flats, like tire liners.

Last night I discovered a granite chip stabbed through the 47c street tire on my eBike.

I think I'm going to need a better #tire / #tyre.

So, here's my proposed #BikeNite question:

Are there better/more robust/puncture-resistant #BicycleTires? Which would you use?

The tire liner I used back in the 80s looked vaguely like an over-sized rubber band, but turned the point of those thorns aside from the inner tube. Are there products like this you would recommend?

And the evergreen discussion: ever tried run-flat tires?
