"puncture resistant" tyres
after getting 2 punctures on the way to work this morning 
i was wondering what people rate as the best sort of "puncture resistant tyres" are , i bought some gatorskins for my boardman last year and got a puncture after only 4 days!! so im a bit reluctant to buy some more as im dubious as to how effective they really are ..
seen these ..

+1 for michelin krylion I think everyone else has covered the positives so I'll cover the bad points. They can be a pain to fit and they are the least comfortable tyres i've used although the 25's are better on both fronts. So overall the best tyres i've used
I commute on some WTB "Aramid" belted tyres, can't remember the model. They were going cheap on CRC last year.
Aramid is just another brand-name for Kevlar. Good enough for me!
edit: they're WTB's "Slickasaurus"
i run Schwalbe Marathon tyres in a 25mm and use them for commuting including light offroad, 14,000 miles done now and only 2 punctures (3 sets of tyres)
