New Tire Reccomendation - Casual Road Biker - Domane SL5
Context:
Bike: Trek Domane SL5 since April 2020
Me: I'm 50+, 210lb
Rides: Casual Weekend 15-30miles once or twice a week, 85% road/pavied patth, 15% gravel/tow path type patths, very unagressive
Existting Tires: Same as came on bike, Bottinger R1 Hard Case Lite 700/32
Total Ride Distance: ~1200 miles
The Problem
I've had a lot of punctures - yesterday was my 7th - no common theme - back/front different places. Even on the roads I ride broken glass and rough patches
Last one was a screw that put a 3mm gash yesterday
Happy with ride, and in general I love this bike.
Questions:
Is a 3mm gash in tire a problem?
Should I think about new tires regardless?
If yes, any recs, someone suggested gatorskin?
Want to balance comfort, speed, and avoiding punctures?
Should I stick at 32mm, or go lower?
