anti puncture , what is best?

Gd morning

Riding a racing bike for commute (700c x 25/28) , what is the best anti
puncture measures?

Or rather, I like to know what works for you?

I am also looking for what gives the best rollings resistants performance.

I know my question is broad , but I rather not make a bias by asking
about a particular product .

I have been using Airless tires from ( http://www.airfreetires.com/ )
on most of my bikes for 10 years and am totally satisfied with them.

Please feel welcome to write me back if I can answer any questions for
you.

I guess the rolling resistance of the 28's would be the same with
anti-puncture measures installed, but I wonder about the added
weight of anti-puncture measures vs the added weight of larger
(say 38's) tires.

I guess added weight doesn't affect speed once you get rolling,
but my experience is that it affects the feeling of liveliness.

Maybe somebody with experience can chime in.

I use Specialized Turbo Elite 700c 23. They have what Specialized calls
"black belt" protection. Pretty light and very responsive and no flats
yet in ~2 years.

Sorry, there is no "best," just a collection of trade-offs that you can
choose from. (Though there may be a "worst.") Several options already
mentioned in this thread.

Mr. Tuffy tire liners really do stop most flats. Back when I used them,
I once had a pretty big gash in one tire, with the Mr. Tuffy showing
through, but no flat. Mr. Tuffys also add significant rolling
resistance, though it's not too hard to ignore. FWIW, I quit using them
in favor of fat, medium-thick-tread kevlar-belted tires on my commuter.
I get 0-4 flats in a year, so greater flat-proofing isn't a high priority.

Something to consider:

The article claims that rolling resistance decreases with increased
speed. I haven't tried it.

$$$ See Specialized tires and tubes....Spec is in Utah but whatthehey
right ? Weal can't live at Boulder or Fort Collins.

more tread, more money, more tube try a throneproof.

Conti TT are excellent surburban semi racers

up a notch ? see Universal Cycles in uhuhuh Portland for KEVLAR LINERS

TIP OF THE WEEK: place liners against inner tread surface not on
rim....

add foluup

speed and RR. sure see Utube at Bonneville Speed Weeks

love that cycle turns around at 165

Individual choice may be largely a matter of the kind of roads you
cycle on, and the debris you tend to encounter there.

Good hint. I recommend a VAT-exempt product called vehicular cycling.
It tends to lower rolling resistance and frequency of debris, but it
may have been banned due to the current Kopenhagenaze movement, or that
visiting seven decades earlier.

add foo

liners eat tubes. the overlap does it. expect an expensive pre slimed
throneproof, which is if not puncture proof, highly resistant, to go
with a indented tear area after 2000 miles ? not bad but always a
surprise. WTF happened to muh tube ?
Liners are extreme measures for hi plains people like Fogel who live
with the dreaded cactus goathead. Tourist Trash, edge of a garbage
dump, construction areas....got construction in a tourist area...gear
up.

my slime throneproof Spec dtory.
On my way to an appt., going down down down a NEW Fed Intercoastal
bridge on the Gulf Coast, wind at back doin' maybe 25, CLICK CLICK
CLICK
stopped on broad shoulder concrete to examine and golly gee there's a
ring shanked roofing nail complete with head washer rammed right thru
to rim.
I continued onward for 20 miles, changed tube 2 days later.
how's that for a recommend ? not racer spec, gram weenie
