    I've never used them, but understand they're pretty speedy.

    Yep. Michelin Pro4 in a number of flavours. SC if you want slightly racier, Endurance if you want puncture-proof riding with seemingly little or no loss of rolling speed and grip.

    I got some GP4000s 2 in 25mm from ACycles. Not many other places seemed to have them in stock. Came to £60.55 for two including postage and two inner tubes. Delivered pretty quickly too.

    Open Pave CG's would be my choice.

    I initially ordered 25mm GP 4000's from Rose but after a 9 week wait gave up, cancelled the order and tried to find some reasonably priced ones anywhere else. Certainly wasn't prepared to pay £40+ each. In the end couldn't find any so ordered the Vittoria Open Corsa in 25mm instead - a revelation ! Uber smooth ride, really lovely. Not sure they offer the same level of puncture protection though.

    Michelin Pro 4 Service course are £27 at wiggle, may finder cheaper elsewhere. Done 2.5k on these over Winter, raced on them too and only had 1 slow puncture in that time. That's on glass and pothole riddled London roads.
