I have Continental Ultra Gatorskins (or is that Gatorskins Ultra?) on my road bike and am very happy with their puncture resistance.

I'm partial to Vittoria Rubino Pros and, more to the point, to the price that I can usually get them for at www.probikekit.com.

time to shop...
I tend to go through alot of tires in the course of a season(multiple bikes). I have found that I have had very good luck with Maxxis and Schwalbe tires. In the Maxxis line, I ride the Courchevals and love them!! I also sell alot of the Detonator model in the shop. In the Schwalbe line, I'll sell a lot of different models... anything from the Lugano to the Ultremos that I ride. At any rate, any of the above are a good choice, it simply depends on what type of tire you want to ride and of course how much you want to spend.

I'll vouch for the gatorskins. I ride 25 and enjoy it. A lot of the people I ride with use Conti 4000 and like those too.
actually I am still riding around on 700 x 40 from MD hillslug. Quite the workout.Thanks TE! You pushed me half way over!

Without a doubt...
CONTINENTAL GRAND PRIX 4000!!!!
They have gotten me through 3 years of ironman training and racing, and I have yet to have had a flat. Oh wait I had one once!!
And we live in the desert- so lots of pokey things around here.
I sell a ton of the GP 4000's here, and have yet to have anyone complain.
