So are latex tubes actually more puncture resistant than butyl tubes?
Recently I have gotten at least one flat every time I ride in the
rain. I have tried 6 different brands/models of tires and I have
suffered at least one flat with each one. These are punctures from
small sharp stones (don't get me started on whether the are flints or
not!) that get embedded in the tire and cut through to the tube.
I am going crazy. I need to find a good performance oriented tire
700x23 or 25 that survives wet weather with the types of sharp stones
all over the place here. Or if latex is more resilient, maybe it will
do the trick. Solutions that increase rolling resistance significantly
are not an option.
