And yes, you are adding more rotating weight to your wheels so the performance may feel a little different. Tuffy along with thicker thorn resistant tubes or a liquid sealant like Slime, give you more flat free miles. If you're a commuter, multi-layer tires like the Schwalbe Marathon (which comes in many sizes and includes reflective sidewalls) will last longer and combined with tire liner strips like Mr. These can handle lower tire pressure and will have stronger sidewalls that are less likely to deform to the point of causing a pinch flat. Use a little finesse riding over rougher spaces and you'll have less flats and a more enjoyable ride.Ĭonsider investing in better grade tires with more layers of tread or rigid wire beads rather than a lighter weight folding tire. Same thing applies when changing altitude, the air pressure in a tire will raise as you go up in elevation because the outside air pressure lowers due to decreased atmospheric pressure. Air expands as it is heated, so you could fill a tube in the cold morning and see it getting firmer or even overfilled throughout a hot day. And, remember to account for hotter weather to avoid over-inflating. Each tire has a recommended range for inflation imprinted on the side (and we list that on the reviews here at EBR so that you can find it if your tire is dirty or worn down). So what do you do to prevent a pinch flat? First, check your tire pressure regularly and inflate adequately, especially the rear tire which bears more of a rider's weight.
