I hate flats a little less than cockroaches or ants so I sacrifice a little performance for puncture resistance.

These are my current tires and are superb

About 1k on them without any problems, and they hold their psi the longest of any tire I've ever used.

I have these on my Langster and they have about 5k on them still look new. Only 1 flat and it was a piece of wire that would have put down a car tire. They do drop psi a little so check em' regularly. That, and they're really hard to find outside of ebay.

I rode continental gp4000's last summer and they were great performance tires but I got limited miles out of them (1200 or so) and 3 flats, the last flat was after they self-destructed with splittting.
