I would think a puncture on the way to or from work is a bit of a nightmare...
I always carry a spare tube, and either a co2 inflater, or a bottle of Foam from halfords, always have an adaptor or schrader valve in the tube, you can top up pressure at any garage, but I have found many garage pumps do not go above 45,50 lbs 65 or 90 is only on artics. I also check inside the case monthly or so for thorns or little things that can work their way in, but wear off at the tread.(the practice you get doing this often will stand you in good stead in the rain.( I have never bought expensive tyres on my off roader, (pension) so cannot comment. But due to my inabilaty to stick to the road if an alternative track looks good means I have a regular date with the irons...
I want to post a new thread to ask "wot is all this rolling resistance stuff"
