Panaracer Minits Lite PT 32-406 availability
I really like my Panaracer Minits Lite for speed and handling but they tend to get punctures easily. Panaracer has upgraded them with their PT shield but I am having trouble finding these in the USA. Does anyone know a place I can get these from that will ship them to the USA? I can find the Minits Lite 32-406 but not the Minits Lite PT.

Bike Friday's online parts store seems to have them at $45. Can't tell if they're the PT version or not. You can always email sales@bikefriday.com or call their toll free number for clarification.

I've ridden some 5,000 miles on Durano 406x28 and about 2,500 on Minits Lite. There is nothing wrong with the Durano but the Minits Lite are more responsive. The Durano is much better in wet conditions than the Stelvio they replaced but the Minits still provide a better grip in wet conditions. The Minits also seem to be a faster tire. They are also about 20 grams lighter than the Durano (no big deal). Although nominally a 32 the Minits actually measure 29 when fully inflated (on my rims anyway) thereby fitting under the mudgaurds on my NS Moulton (most 32s would not).
