The tire is continental archetype 30mm . Just went on a ride and got a puncture. Tire is fairly new and the hole is right in the center of the tire any suggestions for a better puncture resistance tire or change tube and keep riding?

If you don’t care about speed and want max puncture restriction swhabbe marathons are bulletproof.
Continental contacts are a good middle ground, I also believe they have other more puncture resistant tyres too like gator skins but I’ve never used them
GP5000 STR is the standard recommendation. The Archetype is essentially a race day only tire from what I’ve heard. You’re lucky to get 1000km out of them without a puncture.
Deflate > superglue > inflate
you might get lucky and you never run over something again in that spot, or maybe you don’t….like others said, that tire is not used for riding down nasty ass streets with glass and shit everywhere. Mainly used for smooth clean roads of the Grand Tour.
