Hi Glen I should have re read the above. Should read “the tread is getting well worn”
And “a piece of wire pierced the outer”
Sorry

That said good tyres can make a difference. I have used Schwalbe Marathon tyres on my main commuter bike for at least the last five years. (I can’t actually remember when I brought them.) The tread is not getting well worn but I have had just one puncture in that time, a piece of wire that pierced outer through to the tube. These tyres are the ones favoured by many long distance cycle adventurers. The only problem can be finding them in NZ. They are available through the Wiggle website.
