Alright...I'm looking for the most bulletproof tire I can find in 700/ 26-28. I've heard that Specialized Armadillos are awfully good, but I'm looking for a few other reccomendations. Currently riding with Kenda Kontenders...sometimes those thorns go through like slicing through butter.

Continental's gatorskins are another good option... I've hear proponents of both (lots of folks like the ARmadillo).
