dear bicycle kaki's..just got hooked up to cycling again and been wondering around with my trusty road bike.

Just wanted to ask, any recommendation on 700c tires that has good puncture protection? was finding specialize armadillo but can't find it anywhere. punctured 3 tubes when soloing subang-seremban T_T. was looking at the maxxis detonators for their price/value. Are they any good?
i was looking for specialize armadillo tyre back then too... its not selling in Msia as the GH distributor no bringing in. While the only channel left to get it via online, but the shipping cost killing the interest to get it as COST > benefits, unless you're curious cat eager wanted to get it n try it at any cost.
Next, the recommendation from me on tyre you can get local here is :::
Continental GatorSkin .

• durable carbon black mixture and 3/180 tpi carcass
• puncture protection system with DuraSkin anti cut fabric and PolyXBreaker
• varying widths from 23mm to 32 mm

On unrelated note:: GP4000 ada S version, the new 2014 Tyre!!!
Grand Prix4000 S II - The reference tyre!
