Has the Schwalbe Ultremo replaced the Durano? Complemented it?

What kinds of flats are you getting? Glass? Goatheads? Pinch? Radial Tire Wires? Blackberry Thorns? Tube Failures? Something else? I try to prepare for flats, and get one every few months, but keep them to a minimum with good tires, and watching where I ride.

Do you need super-light tires? What size of tires?

In another topic, someone suggested these Panaracer Flataway tire liners. I have a couple on order, and hopefully will send my nephew off to try some out. He gets goatheads

There are some really thick tires including the Schwalbe Marathon Plus, Michelin Protek Max and Michelin Protek Cross Max, and the Panaracer Tourguard. Sometimes I think the thick rubber tires just pick up bigger pieces of rubber/damage/etc. But it may be worth it for some riders.
