Schwalbe Lugano vs. Thickslick Tires
Which have better puncture resistance? I'm guessing the Thickslick Deluxe are better than the Lugano's but the Sport model is not as good? It doesn't specify what kind of puncture resistant belting the Lugano's have, can I assume it's Kevlar?

I have used the luganos and they have held up very well. I have wire bead models and I believe they are Kevlar layered. I have not had a single flat in nearly a year of decent riding. Great grip. There are slight cuts on the surface that have not penetrated the Kevlar layer. This is par for the course when riding in nyc.
