A lot of my customer love the Verdestein tri comp fortezza's. Never tried them myself but they seem decently light and going by there comments punctures are few and far between. When I tried the conti 4 seasons I had nothing but trouble. Wrecked on set of tyres withing 25 miles and both had to be changed due to big holes. Numerous sidewalls cuts and other stuff has put me off. Conti gp4000s tyres have served me well but my favourite tyres are vittoria corsa sc and page's. These simply work well. For winter use I switch to conti competition tubulars and schwable one tubeless. I used to use gatorskin hardshell but the ride they give is horrid even for 25mm tyre. Challange strada bianci 30 mm is one I truly love as it failed to puncture on Paris roubaix and the ride oh my I can hit potholes and barley notice. I will be commuting on these when we move.
To the guy who bought marathon plus tyres if you puncture you are doing well and don't bother fixing it that tyre is so stiff you can ride it flat.
