Anyone got any recommendations? I don't do any racing or anything, just want something that doesn't keep puncturing! Anyone used any of these?

Comes with an inner tube and a 1 year anti puncture warranty. Seems good.

Conti Ultragatorskins here.
Excellent.
Highly recomended.
Their GrandPrix3000's are good also.

Happy Conti Ultra Gatorskin user here - waiting for my current pair to wear out so I can try some of the new Conti Hardcases (or whatever they are called) - supposed to have even more puncture and sidewall protection that the Gatorskins....

Not the lightest or fastest tyres but good if you don't want punctures, I think they only go down to 700x25 size wise.

+1 for the Marathon Plus ones. Probably the most puncture-resistant ones out there; no pneumatic tyre is puncture proof!

I rate these : http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Vittoria_Randonneur_Cross_Hybrid_City_Tyre/5360010650/

bargain at £13. I've ridden over loads of stuff and thought they would puncture for sure but havent. They only go down to a 25c but they come up narrowish, my 32s look more like my old 28s. Not fast tyres though!

Add another thumbs up for Conti Gatorskins. Was plagued with punctures on my (ahem...) road bike, and have not had one since the switch about 800 miles ago. Having said that, not using road bike much at the moment...
