    Specialized Armadillos. Very puncture resistant. Have them on all of my bikes.

    Continental Ultra Gatorskins. A lot of Randonneurs use these, and they ride for hundreds of miles a day, and in the upper thousands of miles a year

    I will second the continental ultra gatorskins! great tires. Except for that time I let pressure go to low I haven't had a problem and I do a lot of city biking ie there is a lot of glass and metal I don't manage to ride around.

    Armadillos have been the only tires that have managed to keep the winter flats away for my husband, now if you wan't totally bomb proof.....
    these things are just about as puncture proof as it gets

    my LBS has some of these cut apart and you can really see how thick the tire is.

    OK, so I went to the bike shop, and we talked tires. They're getting in some Rivendell Roll-y Poly's (however they spell the things!) later this week, and those sounded good, too. Apparently they're a good, tough, long-distance sort of tire, still wide enough to be comfy.

    So I didn't make any kind of purchase, but I did ask to be called when those come in so I can see 'em. Anyone have any experience with those?
