Currently running Bontranger Race Lite Hard Case - anything similar (slicks) that has good puncture resistance?

Thanks for your help guys!

    What's wrong with the Hardcases?

    If you want the ultimate, Marathon Plus. Pretty heavy though, but bombproof.

    Edit - oops, you said slicks - MP have treads.

    I might have been unlucky, but they seem to be collecting glass!!

    I used these for London to Edinburgh (first time I had used them except for about 30 miles test cycling) and had no punctures. Up to nearly 600 miles on them and they seem good still, quite cheap as well.

    Conti Gator Skins. I have a pair of little used 32s that'll be going in the for sale bit soon if you want to try them out for cheap first.

    I just think that you might struggle to get much better protection than these with slicks, they are generally pretty good.

    Maybe I've been lucky, but my Conti Sport Contacts have been pretty good so far.

    I use conti city rides, run them at the highest psi (80) and ...touch wood... have had no punctures in two years

    They're semi-slcik but the mid section is completely smooth
