Specialized Armadillos. Very very puncture resistant. The only downside is that they are a devil to get on and off, but then again, like I said, very very puncture resistant. I have them on all my road bikes.

You don't say whether you want skinny racing tires or fatter tires for possible dirt/gravel roads, and you don't say if you want puncture resistant because of road glass and debris, or whether speed is more important to you.
There are tires that do various things well, if we knew more about your riding habits and your goals. If we know nothing except that you want good road tires, well then everyone is just going to recommend their favorite tire, whether it really suits your needs or not.
and...Do you consider $50 per tire to be within your "costing a fortune" category?Lisa
