Sing Praises IF - Tires are FAT, Pressures are LOW (less than 50-60 psi), Tubes are THICK (aka heavy duty/thorn proof).

Scream CURSES IF - Tires are SKINNY, Pressures are HIGH (more than 80-90 psi), Tubes are THIN (aka road/light weight).

​Pretty much same as above.

AHHHHH- that certainly fits my very positive experience-several years-maybe 15,000 miles.
I use 2.1 and 1.95 tires-generally running 60 psi-but between weekly pumpings drops to 40 psi-so 50 psi- DEAD ON.
Now I use normal tubes-occasionally ones that are "light"-meaning 150 grams or so 26"'-
But your explanation-sure fits my good experience with then-and yes I have had some suspicious flats that might have been from the sharp edged vinyl if it wasn't taped well

I have used a "puncture resistant" michelin or maybe schalbe(sic) didn't seem to work any better than normal tires-this was pre tire liner
Thanks
Charlie
