Need help with some new road tires.
I'm wondering which type of tires are good for just riding through trails, streets, road and sometimes accidentally hitting those small ditches. Popped 3 tires already in the past month, both my front and the back today. Please help me out. Thanks.

I used to think Vittoria Randonneurs were the best tire for most riding; now I am running Schwalbe Marathon Plus. I think I like the schwalbe better. A little more information might be helpful.

Are you pumping them up to minimum spec? Pinch flats can occur when you hit bumps and ditches and stuff if the air pressure is too low. Probably anything under 65 psi will pop.
