I'm unusual in my tire tastes. I like a tire that rides nicely, and I don't care about puncture resistance. I don't get many flats, and when I get one, I can change the tube on the street very fast, so it's not a huge bother. I'm commuting on Continental GP5000 tires, and they're very supple. I installed them in August, and I wondered why I waited so long. By comparison, my previous tires rode like rocks. My new tires are 32 mm wide.
