One of my customers has had several punctures. The rest of us have had few
with more hours. Perhaps he chooses bad fields but someone who may know
suggested his punctures were due to low tyre pressures. He checked and found
his were low (not just the punctured one). I have no idea if low pressure
does make a tyre prone to puncture but its worth checking the pressures in
any case. Being a bit woolly on top I have taken to writing my correct tyre
pressures on the wheel rims in white paint so I don't have to look it up.
