The gatorskins feel good but wear pretty quick, they feel softer than most other tubs I have and seem to like to keep glass etc. embedded in the rubber. I would keep my eyes open for whatever turns up on ebay for sale, unused pairs tend to go for relatively cheap.
Tufo extreme sealant has worked well for me, got scammed on here for 2 punctured gatorskins and filled them with the sealant, both still holding air perfect. The only negative is it will dry up after a while once you open it, but maybe just shake it up every now and then.

Hey, I was looking for some advice if you can help. I'm currently riding on some Mavic GP4s to and from work each day (not far, 6 miles round trip) while I sort out putting together another bike (with clinchers). Although I do use for longer rides on weekend.
I realise riding on tubs for London commuting isn't ideal, but it's my only option right now. A couple questions, there are some Conti Giro's 22mm (punctured) on at the moment. Will the rim take a wider tyre (25mm)? What is a good option to replace with that has good puncture resistance?
Sorry if these have been answered previously in thread, didn't look too deep.
