I like my Bontrager Race Lite Hardcases. Some say they handle poorly in the rain, but I had no problems, and only 2 flats in 2500 miles, and those were both on the same stretch of ridiculously awful road, as in tons of broken glass.

Steel is real, baby!
A recent thread has quite a few of us praising the Continental GP4000 (myself included in that bunch).

I like the Serfas Seca RS. Maybe 1200 miles and no flats. I train and race them with no issues. Are they the best riding tires? Probably not but they're cheap and work well.

My stock Vittoria Zaffiro Pro tires on my CAAD-9 have 1000+ flat-free miles and ride awesomely.
After all the glowing reviews of the Continental GP4000S tires on this site I ordered a pair from Pro Bike Kit when they were on sale delivered for $60 a pair. They're sitting in my garage and I'll mount them when these tires are done.
