    Well "Brent" that was constructive. Tell us in you *most* humble
    opinion, what the best of the best are then?

    Well, I'm no expert, but my 5 year old hybrid has had Kenda Kwest tyres ever since I wheeled it out of the shop. In all that time, and what must be quite a few 1000s of kms it has only ever had *two* punctures. I'm pretty easy on tyres, but even so they show few signs of wear. The bike got a fair run at commuting, touring, shopping, and camping before retiring to occasional commute, when it doubles as pack-horse, and shopping bike. Almost all of the kms would have been carrying panniers.

    Don't know if they're the 'best', but they've been great!

  6. We could stick a German/French/Italian name on the side , ship it halfway
    around the world , sponsor a pro cycling team , take out full page ads in
    magazines & call it a $59.95 tyre if you like 🙂

  7. Does anyone know anything about the cheap ($11.99) road bike tyres on
    special at the moment at torpedo7.com?

    (Specifically with regard to puncturing, wear and grip in the wet...)

  8. I was cycling on the road and picked up a stanley knife blade that sliced
    thru tyre and left a 2 cm hole.

    Well, you aren't likely to find any bike tyre that will save you from
    that. I wouldn't expect it's something that will happen very often.

    On average I have a puncture every 2000km. That's riding on paved
    surfaces only.
