I just got over 3800 miles on my Bontrager hard case tires but for some reason they are no longer available. My first set failed at abouot 800 miles - with the tires delaminating. The LBS replaced them for free. This must have been a better batch. I think I can count on 1 hand the number of flats I had in 2800 miles. I always inflated them to 120psi for every ride if more than a day had passed since last inflation. So naturally I wanted the same tires only to find that no one has them anymore, and not available on the Trek website either. I figure that new models must be coming out but really I don't have a clue.

I then set out to get the Specialized Armadillo tires which are essentially the same thing - but again, none of the Specialized dealers had them, nor did the Specialized website have any stock in 25. Sigh.

So now I have just purchased Continental Gatorskin hard case tires and am looking forward to seeing how they hold up. Again they have kevlar and are supposed to be pretty flat resistant.

BTW, I have the Bont. hard case on my other bike in 28s. 1500 miles and still have not - well I don't want to jinx anything, but I have yet to remove a tire from this bike....

I know there are many websites and proponents of not inflating your tires to the max, and following that advice I used to only inflate to 90-100psi, but I got a LOT of flat tires. Once I started filling to 120 the flat tires just stopped coming. Why mess with a good thing?
