Goatheads are nasty. Conti Gatorskins help a lot, though not 100%.

Thank you for the suggestion. I did search but with Denver growing so rapidly I just didn't know if those previous suggestions might have changed.

They even exist in cracks on paved paths.
Oooo I know those. I spent some time in El Paso. The best is when you step on them with your bare feet. Makes me go straight my knees. Thanks for the reminder..

Agreed on the Gatorskins. Although we don't have them in NY I used those tyres all the time in El Paso, TX.
