I'm a Continental Grand Prix Four Seasons fan. 700 x 25, because we have some horrendous rocky farm country back roads around here that I go down. No 23's for me on roads like that. I am amazed at the scary stuff those tires just laugh at.

+ 1 for Schwalbe Stelvios
But even the Schwalbe Blizzards (cheaper) are great, very resistant, easy on and off. Love 'em!

GP4000s for me. I get all kinds of mileage out of them (usually 4K front, over 2500 rear), might flat once or twice over the life of a tire. They have a rather triangular profile (similar to Dunlop motorcycle tires) so they're quick to turn in. Easy on, easy off, even when new (except for the part about identifying the directionality - I usually over-mark the arrow on the sidewall in silver sharpie before I install a tire the first time).
Plus, the blue perfectly matches Specialized bar tape.
