I recently cycled around Nova Scotia on my Streetmachine with the Schwalbe Marathons that came with
the bike. While I didn't get any punctures I found the tyres to be pretty slow. I'm currently using
Conti GPs, which are very fast, but I'm aware that they are somewhat more likely to puncture (hasn't
happened yet on the Norfolk roads though).
I'm going to New Zealand for 4 weeks in January and need to choose a tyre for that tour. What is the
general concensus on a tyre that gives a good balance between performance and puncture-resistance? I
don't intend to do much dirt road riding, except perhaps down the occasional vinyard drive.
