I've used Michelin Pro-Races in the past but they seemed a bit fragile and I got sick of flats.
I've been using Schwalbe Stelvio's since last year and apart from barely any flats (that's gone and done it) they're lasting really well - 3000km's and still looking good. I use 'em for commuting, training, racing, getting the milk etc etc. Probably not much bling factor but hell, I want to ride on 'em, not look at 'em.
+1 for the Schwalbe; 5000kms, 1 puncture in that time. Front tyre has a significant cut in it and the rear has some damage on the side wall - but has been like that for about 2000kms and no flats! I have even ridden over a broken beer bottle!!!!

However, having said that, I am fully expecting a flat tomorrow.........
