When I changed to continental gp 4 season tires, I haven gotten zero flats since. I rode over glass today, no flat, I rode in sandy nasty gravel the other day twice, no flat. My old tires would have flattened at the smell of that stuff...
its the tires, not the tubes.
They're OEM tires. I don't expect them to be any good,
but still, I can't believe that they'd be the cause of slow leaks.
Without no clear puncture, I've have to chalk it up to a leaky valve.
They managed to hold air for 8 hours or so without being ridden,
I ride them for few miles, then, about 2 hours after that, flat.
However, I am expecting much less complications once the GP4KS's are on it.
