Chris what kind of rubber did ya get?

Generally the smaller the tire (the less rubber) the cheaper they are.

Car tires are sometimes different, the low pro ones are pricey!

Are you sure they are called dura shields, or are they silent armours? I am kinda out of the loop on good years newer tires, but the last ones they came out with were silent armours with the kevlar in them.

The kevlar in the tires does seem to help somewhat. Ive only gotten 2 nails in one tire so far.

I used to carry a plug kit for awhile too. They actually work pretty well. Not quite as good as a plug patch, but ya dont have to take your tire off at all to fix.
