Help!
I'm doing anywhere from 20 to 50 miles a day, and the punctures are killing me.
Need some recommendations on 100psi tires that can take a little more abuse.
Honest road tires, and I'm not off road, but the occasional sharp rock is causing me trouble.
thanks

Do a search of the forums and you'll find MANY, MANY threads on the topic. Specialized Armadillos are highly recommended for durability ... I've put 1000 miles on my current set without a hiccup.

Thanks,
Actually I did a search, and came up with so many threads, that my brain collapsed ;)

Ultra GatorSkins, Armadilloes, or Bontrager Hard Cases.

I've been out of road bikes for a while but LBS recommended the Ultra Gatorskins by Continental.
