Road tyres that can cope with shards of flint?
Discussion
I live in the Chilterns and like to ride the lanes in the hills, this means lots of flint chippings on the roads, last 4 road rides in a row i've punctured. Each time checking tyre its been shards of flint wedged into the casing. Continental ultra sport lasted no time at all and now a Vittoria open Corsa CX has a 4mm cut in the centre of the tread after less than 80km use. I have nice wide rims that make the 23mm corsa measure up at 25mm, so 700c 23 size is good, can anyone recommend a more durable tyre that cope with sharp stuff better? Never had a pinch puncture or a thorn puncture, but the flint punctures are now feeling quite disruptive.
