ACG... I used to ride race tires... but after too many days on the side of the road changing flats I finally caved and put Continental DuraSkin (Gatorskins) tires on my bike...

pros: VERY puncture resistant and a long lasting tire... most riders get 3-5000 miles on them which is a TON compared to most tires

cons: they do not roll as fast as a race tire...

I have found them to be comfortable and altho they don't roll quite as fast it makes no difference to me... I'm not a racer and I'm tired of flatting! I can, however, change a flat now in four minutes... flat! LOL
