tire suggestions

LOVE the Conti grand prix 4000's! With the black chili compound, they are the best! No flats for me in years.
Tho I must say I don't know how they work in wet weather. I live in the desert so...

As a wet road expert I can tell you: they are perfect!!!

I have been running Maxxis Courchevals the past four seasons and love them! Last season, I put several customers on Schwalbe tires ... different models. I just mounted a pair of Ultremos' on another bike, and although I only have a few rides on them I love them as well. Both give you a nice ride, very supple... good on wet weather... although perhaps I don't have the wet weather that many of you have. At any rate, there are lots of good tires out there...perhaps ask your LBS as well.

I have continental gatorskins in 25. they are pretty great. I've never gotten a puncture (except when I fail to keep pressure at a minimum).

Conti GP 4seasons is my tire of choice on the road bike. I use the 700x23 on my road bike, my husband the 700x25 on his Colnago and on my tandem the 700x28.

Another vote for the Conti GP's. I got sick of flats several years ago and switched to these. Rough roads, wet roads, unexpected gravel, ... the Conti's handle them all well.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I went to my lbs today and they said skinnier tires wouldn't make that much difference and that I should just work harder to keep up with my group. They did take a lot of time to ask about my riding, looked at my bike setup, etc. They suggested Schwalbe Durano tires. They didn't have Contis. I'm mulling over all they said, and might go back and get the Schwalbes. I'm thinking about this too much
