You're taking a real shine to this forum huh???

I use Vitoria Diamante Pro's for training (I don't race). I've punctured once in 5 or so months.
But it's not like I'm putting in a lot of k's.

Because its the same like on a mtb some tyres eg a race tyre rolls faster but wears quicker and grips better and is also lighter I'm Cool

Cos race tyres wear out real quick. Or they don't wear out that quick but cost over $100 each. Either way must save precious for the race.

I run Speccy Mondos. Fast, light enough, cheap and red. Full slicks are no issue in the rain. I have never needed 'all conditions' tyres on the tarmac.

I also run 37c Vittoria Randonneurs or Michelin Transworld Sprint semi slicks for city/park sifting and touring.

I run Continental Attack/Force combo ...

These ones here:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Sports/Cycling/Parts-accessories/Wheels-tyresblahblahblah

Really really nice tyres especially with the 22C front and 23C back ... and really light. Grip well on cornering etc.

I used to have a more general purpose Maxxiss Detonators .. which lasted well over 3000kms
