Yes, puncture resistant tires work. Many riders experience fewer with puncture resistant tires. These tires work by either increases tire thickness or adding a protective layer inside the tire. Puncture resistant tubes, tapes, and sealants are also alternatives to prevent flats.

Can you make bike tyres puncture proof?

To improve puncture resistance, tyre makers can use: a harder-compound rubber for the tread, or simply a greater thickness of rubber; a protective layer under the tread, usually made from synthetic fibres; and stronger, coarser fibres for the woven casing. There’s something you can do too: add sealant.

An innovative technology that eliminates any risk of punctures. Unveiled by Michelin last June at the “Movin’ On 2019” summit dedicated to sustainable mobility, Michelin UPTIS, the airless tire, represents a major innovation both in terms of safety and respect for the environment.

Are some tires more puncture resistant?

Along the centre of the tyre, a harder compound tends to be used, being longer lasting and more resistant to punctures. The compounds on the side tend to be softer, offering more grip in the corners.
