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 .. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/continental-supersport-plus-road-tyre/#more or maybe these http://www.wiggle.co.uk/continental-gatorhardshell-road-tyre/#more Evans just recommended me specialized armadillos ? wondered what others used??

I’ve used both Schwalbe
I’ve used both Schwalbe Marathon Plus and Specialized Armadillo’s. Both have commuted well for me.

Schwalbe Marathon? I’ve not
Schwalbe Marathon? I’ve not used those in a 25 but they do exist; the 32, 28 versions for commuting/touring are bulletproof.
