The Continental Grand Prix 4 Season is a pretty good tire. I found the puncture protection to be excellent, but the casing split after about 2500 miles. The Schwalbe Marathon Supreme is another good choice. It has great wet grip (better than the Marathon Plus, similar to the GP 4 Season) and puncture protection (not as good as the Marathon Plus but better than the GP 4 Season). It's tread life is also better than the GP 4 Season but not as good as the Marathon Plus. It rolls better than the Marathon Plus but not nearly as well as the GP 4 Season. The point of the preceding comparisons is that you need to decide what your priorities are to pick the right tire. I didn't mention price, but that also figures in. The GP 4 Season and Marathon Supreme are both pretty expensive.
