Cyclocross - recommended puncture-resistent cyclocross tires?

I apologize beforehand if the cyclocross forum isn't the most appropriate one for this question. I could post it to "Commuting", as I don't actually use my cross bike for cyclocross, but I suspect that people at this subforum would be better able to answer my question.

I ride a singlespeed cyclocross bike for commuting and around-town riding, and currently have 700c x 23 road bike tires on it. Because it is winter and because a lot of our streets aren't paved very well, I am considering reverting to the 30 mm cross tires that came with the bike. However, they aren't flat-resistant as my road bike tires are. Is there anything in particular that you guys would recommend? I was considering the WTB Cross Wolf model. Does anybody have experience with those or anything else that's good?

Thanks,
Chris

Real cyclocross tyres possibly aren't the optimum answer for bad roads, even in winter. Some mud tyres in particular are both hilarious and frightening when used on a nice hard road surface.

Run 35 or 40mm touring or, better, trekking tyres - the sort of thing people use for touring in the Himalayas - instead. The best have terrific puncture resistance and they are designed for bad weather and bad roads. Marathon Extremes would probably be ideal. They're definitely not cheap, but they should have you much higher mileage most tyres. I'd expect the Cross Wolf to do better in the mud, traversing cambered grass, and making hard turns on soft ground - but if civilization hasn't *completely* collapsed and you're just looking for the ability to ride through pot holes and on gravel, then the Extreme should be much better - faster, more durable, more resistant to punctures, better at handling pot holes. Especially if you get the 40mm version.

(That said - I'd love to hear how well/badly the Wolf handles on the road - especially what's it ability for hard turning and braking is like. As I am looking for a ride-to-the-dirt-and-ride-back tyre...)

Chris - three more options from my own research you could look at are 1. Adding kevlar anti-puncture strips to whatever tyres you buy (Panaracer make them) 2. Using a sealant filled inner tube. If these puncture you are supposed to be able to just pump them up without patching 3. Converting to the Stan's No-Tubes system. Tyres used with Stan's are supposed to self-seal before they can noticeably deflate.
