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.
Yep the streets here are not to good.
I rotated my tires at 3,000, front to back. Not really sure why, the back looked a little square, but still rolled out.
On the other bike, I run the Marathons, they are also very good tires. I just feel the rimbos ride better. Plus I found rimbos in 23 for my road bike.
Really I don't think you could go wrong with either.
Of course we don't have goatheads here!
