I'd be interested in opinions on the following: I have a tern Verge S8i with Big Ben Plus tires. I've gotten, thus far ~4,850 miles on them, though the tread is noticeably more shallow (but still ride-able). This bike now serves as my backup or what my wife rides for those infrequent times she comes to ride with me (most likely she will use it more in the future than I will). So, comfort is important for her. Flat resistance is a priority for me. What are my options?
a. Stick with the Big Ben Plus tires and the likely 5,000-6,000 miles I'll get out of them.
b. Stick with the Big Ben Plus tires but add tire liners (if so, which? I've never used them before).
c. Try the Continental eContact Plus tires Jipe recommends?
d. Is there another option?
