Recommendations for Puncture resistant tires - 700 x 25mm?
My new high racer road bike has come with Continental Ultra Sport (700 x 25mm). Maybe okay for the track but they don't look like they're very durable or puncture resistant so I'm looking for replacement tire suggestions. Happy to trade some rolling resistance for fewer punctures! Thanks

I've been running Pirelii Cinturato Velo on my commuter for about 5 years now and they're very good - only one puncture and that was a nail. Prior to that I was running Durano Plus and they were very good too. Marathon Plus are the best for puncture resistance, but they're noticably slower, where as the Durano and Cinturato are fast rolling - I run them with a lightweight butyl tube in them - Schwalbe SV15 - make sure the valve length is right!

Durano and Durano Plus became the Schwalbe One and One Plus. I've had Ones (and previously Duranos) on my everyday road-riding bike for many years. I can't actually remember the last puncture I had, but then I replace them every couple of years (say 6000 miles or so) when they start to look a bit threadbare. The Ones seem plenty good enough to me; the One Plus has even better puncture protection but is a fair bit heavier (570g vs 290g for 28-622 size).
