I have Continental Grad Prix 4000S tires on my bike and today I suffered two punctures within 5 miles on the rear tire (about 200 miles on it).
What is the feeling on the quality of these tires? Was I just unlucky? Is there a recommendation for a road tire that gives more protection without adding significant weight or drag? A friend mentioned a tire sold under the Specialized name that supposedly offers good protection (about $60 each).
It's been quite windy for the last few days and so there is a lot of debris on the roads and one can't avoid, let alone see all of it (thorns, twigs, leafs, etc.). I found nothing in the tire when I changed out the tube either time.
