As above, any recommendations?
Continental GP 4 Season are the best compromise between weight, speed, grip and puncture resistance that I've found.

Schwalbe Marathons are very tough but heavy too, so you really have to not like punctures to run them.
There's also Hutch Intensive tubeless for a leftfield choice but they aren't cheap.
i'm using schwalbe durano's on one bike at the mo,
they seem very tough.
Schwalbe Marathon Plus - has a reflective aound the bead which works very well. Tyres are bombproof too. Yes they are heavy(ish) but just think of the extra training you'll get 🙂
Durano Plus here.. Heavy for a road tyre at 340grams in 23cc.
9 months on my commuter and training wheels. 4000miles and no puntures. Rear tyre only just worn out to...
I've been using Conti Gatorskins. No idea of weight etc. - they are much lighter than my MTB tyres if that's a help...
Anyway - I used to get loads of punctures and now get none. They are a bit sketchy in wet or ice though - was getting wheelspin uphill last weekend. Eeek.
Set (high) and check your pressures before every single ride.
I've had 1 or 2 punctures in something like 4000 miles on Michelin Krylion carbons, and a fair amount of that was commuting on Nottingham's mean glass strewn streets. Great tyres when you can get them.
Michelin Krylion Carbons here. Admittedly never tried the Conti GP 4 seasons but never felt the need.
gatorskins are squeaky in the wet a 4season has much better grip and ride quality, worth the extra imho

Panaracer Ribmo - zero punctures, several thousand miles, reasonable weight, good choice of sizes. I think they are ace.
