I'm asking the other old timers (like me) what "flat resistant" tire is easiest to get off the rim and back on if you have a flat on the road or bike trail? I'm talking 700x23.
The reason I ask is because I've always used Continental GP4000Si and haven't had problems. But yesterday I was in the garage mounting a new set of tires on my new wheels. After two attempts and two pinch flats I gave up and went to the bike shop. The mechanic (who is younger and much stronger) had a heck of a time and he too had two pinch flats before giving up.
The shop owner said they sell a lot of Michelin Pro4 Service Course. I was thinking maybe those or Michelin Pro4 Endurance for the extra flat protection.
Any thoughts?
