Armadillos are nice. You might also want to consider the Kenda Kaliente series with their similar flat prevention system (there is the regular Kaliente and that with the flat protection system). I have had good luck with those. You can still pinch flat at 120 psi, as I found the other day when I ended up taking an unexpected dropoff at 20 mph because of some moron in an SUV.
As I read over reviews, I find some people talk about the sidewalls on the Armadillo Turbos letting go - in as little as 300 miles - though most reviews are high on them. Another problem is the reviews cover a time period from 2000 to 2003. I suspect there have been changes over that time. But what is really annoying is most reviews don't always specify precise versions. Apparently there is a "turbo A" version and a "turbo lite" version at least but few specify. Then there is the question of tire size. it is possible that someone with a 32c size will have markedly different experiences from those with a 23c.
