You're lucky kato7997. Puncture protection is at the top of my Agenda and when i don't have tyres that are up to the task commuting is a miserable experience. When I moved to the lighter 'puncture resistant' conti travel contacts it was about two days before the M+ proved their superiority in this area.
Think green tarmac cycle lanes covered with smashed green glass, clear glass, wood screws, glass, wall tacs (riding by primary schools is good for that one! Unbelievable), more glass.
Here in the UK Nick Lowe's, 'I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass', must've settled very deeply into the nations conscious because it's everywhere here and it's fecking awful.
I like to keep my tyre pressure high but riding a bike with my nose to the front tyre is not my idea of fun. I like to take in some of the scenery and the M+'s make me forget about the worst of the glass. I swear, they're the only solution for where I live.
PS I don't work for Schwalbe
