i have my set of Michalin Pro 4s waiting for when they clean the streets up some. gatorskins for 500mi so far this winter.. 1 flat due to a pothole + cracked rim.
Hardly the bike's fault. The shoulders, MUP, and residential streets are all in poor shape. I should have taken that into consideration when breaking out my road bike(ie, I shouldn't have), but I didn't in the eagerness I felt to enjoy a bit of freedom and speed in the unseasonably warm weather we've been having lately. I will either have to pony up for some more resilient tires such as the ones you cited, or maybe just stick to my slow-ass mountain bike(fast for a mtn bike, but slow compared to the speeds I
want to travel at).
