I was going to suggest the Pasela. The puncture-protected version used to be called Tour Guard, or TG. They may have changed the name because they recently changed from aramid (Kevlar) to some other material, claiming aramid was getting too expensive. They work well. The Pasela also comes in a cheaper non-PT version. Also in a "folding" version with aramid edge cords instead of steel, lighter but more expensive.

I have 28mm TGs on my commuter/utility UO8 with Sun M-13II rims, a somehwat narrowish rim.

FWIW, 105psi and 110psi are equal, more or less. Your pressure gauge my be off by that much, and when you pump a tire up it will hold pressure like that for only a few days at best before your 110 is down to 105. You likely would never notice the difference between 105 and 110 regardless of what its rated pressure is. The 25mm version is rated at 115psi, and though it may not fit your rim as well you probably couldn't tell the difference riding.
