The ride with the Gatorskins is excellent. I got tired of flats as well, and decided to not only pick up the Gators, but put Tuffy's under them as well... no punctures after 600-700 miles, though I got a pinch flat after slacking off on keeping the PSI up, and I've gone through plenty of broken glass and metal schrapnel. The Tuffys cover about 150 degrees of the tires, in addition to the Gators' built-in kevlar, but the sidewalls remain supple, so they are fast and smooth.

I think this combination is perfect for me.
