I must say that I was very disappointed in the Gatorskins that everyone raves about.

How come?

Excellent taste, madam.

Everyday/Racing - GP4000s (only black, because of black chili)
Only Racing - PR3 (it's much softer, so it runs better but wears/flats faster)

I had Vittoria's to start with, had tons of flats, so swapped them out for Armadillos, almost a year later, I have not had a single flat. People exaggerate the weight and rolling resistance of the armadillos, I couldn't tell the difference between them and the Vittoria's. Only now, I don't get flats :D

I use the Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CX. The tire is tops in both grip and comfort. However, they cut easily and are worn by 2000 miles. They are not cheap but if you are willing to pay for performance and comfort, it's good.

Not really impressed with Rubino Pro. Ride quality sucks, wears fast. It is pretty flat resistant though.

it wears slow, doesn't flat and feels good.

GP4000. Excellent grip wet or dry. Last a long time. Never flat. Good rolling resistance. What more could you want out of a tire?
