Replacement for my gatorskins

yes Gatorskins are still on the go. Or if you’re feeling fancy, you could go for Gator Hardshells

Schwalbe Durano Plus for me - average about 1 puncture per 5,000k. (I used to run Gators but after a few butt clenching moments in the wet, I lost faith in them).

Tried Conti 5000 and 4 Seasons but punctured regularly in them (although they do roll beautifully).

GP 5000 all year round

Can I jump inhere too as I need new tyres on my road bike (23mm tyres) - still using stock ones but they are worn

I do very short commute distances - max 30km per week

priority is will be ok in the wet and puncture proof, don't care about speed or weight as my distances are so short and priority is to get from A-B safely (even when raining)!

From above it seems GP5000 or Durano Plus would both be good - any preference?

Thanks a lot

Depends on your bike really - you're not going to put Durano+ on your road bike for example.

Maybe an old beater hybrid or a high nelly or Dutch bike perhaps.

Plenty of us use Durano plus on road bikes.Not sure how serious that other post was but maby he was thinking about marathon plus tyres which are near bullet proof but not really for road bikes .Go into a bike shop if you want further proof .There is a lot of overkill in cycling like other sports interms of clothing and equipment, the fine margins you get from things only really matter at race level etc not for a leisure spin or a commute to work .

Thanks guys, that's really helpful. I will of course ask in the shop that I'll be getting them in too, but I always like to be a bit informed about something I know absolutely nothing about, so I don't just follow advice blindly. Thanks a million.
