      You beat me to it. I can also attest to the effectiveness of Schwalbe Marathons. Great in all conditions, not too heavy, and puncture-proof as it gets. Additionally, the retro reflective stripe is incredible for night time visibility. Best in class everyday tire, easily.

      Those tires look pretty slick, OP, I know money doesn’t grow on trees but please consider it as a safety measure.

        That’s actually not a tire in the photo- it’s the basement floor. I took the picture after digging out the piece of glass out of my tire. My actual tires look pretty similar to this

          Ahhhhh my bad fam! Yeah regular tires like that are perfectly fit for use. It’s definitely quite nice for quality of life rolling around with puncture resistant tires, whenever the time to swap comes! I always have puncture anxiety lol.

      I bought the bike used but the tires it came with are pretty pristine. Would hate to have to buy new ones already. If this becomes a regular occurrence, I might have to swap out at least the tire on the rear wheel though. I might also start carrying a patching kit and one of those electric mini bike pumps in my backpack

      Also it looks like local shops don’t stock 26 x 2.0
