Sorry to hear about your flats issues, Fender. I have had very few issues since I got a set of Vittoria Randonneurs a couple years back, and even fewer since I went with Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires, which I've been running for about a year. Only one flat in well over 3000 commuting miles. I know you said you'd tried different tires, but I thought I've share my experience in a nutshell. They're more expensive tires than some, but worth it in the end. Just my unsolicited two cents...
Had a good ride home last night.Took several miles to find my mojo, but I was sailing along comfortably once I did. If it weren't for missing my six month old son so much I would have tacked on a few extra miles to the ride. Gorgeous weather again this morning and a beautiful ride in with a warm orange sunrise over the Potomac to accompany me on my way. There's a reason that October and November are my favorite months for riding! :-D
