Majority of my tyres are Schwalbe and they have proven to be very reliable and resistant to punctures.
Me too. I know I'm tempting the flat gods when I say this, but I haven't had a flat in over 34000 km (21000 miles). Most of my bikes have Schwalbe marathon tires (supremes, XRs, racers, and winters). Of course, no matter what kind of tires you have, you should still keep them properly inflated and try to avoid road debris.
