Asking what tyre is like asking what saddle.

For several years now I have been using BONTRAGER AW2 HARD-CASE LITE ROAD TYRE and I am very impressed with them.

I don't normally pay that much for them as I have signed up for the All terrain special offers and buy in bulk once a year when they have their special offers on (think it was less than a tenner each last time)

Gator hardshells for me on my everyday bike.

I just caved me self and invested in some marathon plus, amazon have them about £1 cheaper but won't have any in stock till next week. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/schwalbe-marathon-plus-road-tyre-smart-guard/rp-prod24544

These are for road and trail, so may not be what you are after, the other one in my basket before I made the decision was the GP4 but wouldn't have been grippy enough for gravel in a 25c.

Gatorskins have served me well. Over 2,000 road miles in the last 4 months without a puncture. That will be the kiss of death!

Halfords are advertising them (700 x 23C and 700 x 25C) at £20.99 a piece on their website.

I don't work for Halfords!

Just put the gators back on the commuter tonight after 2 punctures in the last week and a half, what with commuting on unlit lanes this time of year its harder to avoid the debris .

Thanks all,I'll bite the bullet and purchase sometime this week.
