but if you get better tires, you're just going to want to skid all the time.

Tubulars. You'll never want to skid. Just go faster more comfortably.

Never had a flat in 6 months with Freedom Urban Elite Thickslicks. They are extremely heavy but totally impervious to flats. I've ridden straight through broken glass at 110 psi multiple times with no issues.

I moved on to much lighter tires now but if weight isn't a huge concern I'd recommend them.

+1 for ThickSlick Urban Elites. If durability matters more than weight, I really don't think there's a tougher tire out there.
