My husband uses the Continental gatorskins and they are holding up well.

i now use the Continental 4 Seasons- they are pretty expensive but i do love them.
I've gone through a couple sets of Panaracer Kevlar tires and they were good too, and much cheaper.

I know there are many websites and proponents of not inflating your tires to the max, and following that advice I used to only inflate to 90-100psi, but I got a LOT of flat tires. Once I started filling to 120 the flat tires just stopped coming. Why mess with a good thing?
We all have different experiences. Husband and I have great results from not over-inflating. We ride some very sharp rocky farm roads.
Sandra- remember that each tire has its own recommended maximum inflation psi stamped right on it. Fatter tires use lower psi, thinner tires use higher inflation psi. Pumping a 38 tire up to 120 psi might blow it right off the rim.
