What tyres to get?

Had a look at the tyres on my Giant OCR road bike after I got a puncture and they're bald as an eagle so need to get new ones. Anyone know of any good online sites to buy from?

I guess I'm looking for something that allows me speed, good grip and puncture resistant to an extent.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I recommend Shwalbe Lugano puncture protected Tyres. They're around €20 each and I find them very good although my rear one only lasted 2500km before it was worn almost flat and bald along the middle. I ran them at 110psi and found that they rolled well, had plenty of grip in wet/dry and were simple to put on/take off (no need for tire levers but that depends on the rims your fitting them too)
