    GP4000s without question. On my ride yesterday, I had to check a few times that I didn't have a puncture as the ride was so supple!

    Hi Daj, not sure of your budget but I have found the Bontracer Race Lites to be pretty good training tyres for the money (less than £15 a go and you can even colour match). I still have an old pair of 25's which I now use on my hybrid. They have done a load of miles, used in all weathers, and no p*nctures (doh, that will be them cursed now).

    They are not as good as some tyres (like Krylion Carbons, etc.) but you get what you pay for.

    Pro Race 3's - you can for around £45 a pair - these are great tyres - although the puncture resistance isn't brilliant.

    Krylions - I got a pair for £40 - from CRC - had to wait a few weeks for delivery- and haven't tried them yet. Heard lots of people say that these are the best compromise between performance and puncture resistance.

    I 2nd the Bontracer Race Lites.

    Used these on my daily 30 mile all weather commute across london for years and never got a p******. Good value. Wear well too.

    Continental Grand Prix (not 4000) http://www.conti-tyres.co.uk/conticycle ... prix.shtml maybe?

    They seem to take some of the goodness from GP4000S but in a cheaper package. I don't know where it's cheapest though.
