Hey Sunnyday,

I found a good tire for us guys in the 260 club . I installed kevlar reenforced, "Big Apples" balloon suspension tires on my early Marin mountain bike. They soak up the ripples in the road nicely making my mountain bike more of a bomber bike where I can plow through the rougher roads at higher speeds . They should be good at resisting thorns, etc too. There are other tires too that are supposed to be good like "hook worms", etc. Just look around.

Hang in there Sunnyday! Good weather is coming.
