That got my attention. I have visited NOLA many times, and pedaled around there as well. The street surfaces in New Orleans are in typically worse than most other cities in the US - and I have visited all 50 states. If you have good results with rimbo in NOLA, that has me curious - I have never seen that tire.

I use Panaracer Pasela Tourguard, but my local streets are generally smooth and don't have much glass or junk on the pavement to worry about. I get an occasional flat, but sometimes I am lucky and go 6+ months (3K to 4K miles) with no flats.
