. 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.
Ive read about the kevlar , and some people report that it works well, but after a few years, the kevlar starts to break down / fall apart.
let us know if this happens to you in the future ?
