You'll get as many replies with as many different lyres.
So will throw my hat in the ring

Vittoria Rubino Pros

Or Rubino Pro Tech for the extra protection.

Depends what you want from the tyre. Longevity, puncture resistance, speed, handling etc.

I'll raise you a Vittoria Rubino ordinary - for a tenner.

Have you gone upmarket @ianrauk - thought it was you that recommended the ordinary to me?

Sorry to hear about your road bike OP - mine sometimes feels like it talks back to me - but it never tires.

When you say your bike get tired, is that the frame or another part starting to show wear, in my case it is me that Tires, the bike seems ok.

I think he means he needs new road bike tyres

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Gatorskins for puncture resistance, my front has 11,000+ miles without one, the rear had two but both pinch punctures, and the new rear tyre none in about 6,000 miles.

Wow, 11,000 miles! I was wondering what the kind of life one could expect out of a bike tyre - I didn't think that kind of mileage would be possible.

@dee.jay its no covered 12,000 and still no sign of it giving up the ghost, and still no puncture. @Supersuperleeds well I just re-opened it , the new rear 5,500 with no issues. I get through wheels quicker than tyres.
