will take a look at the Durano, grippier than gators?
I know it's not a race, but when unfortunately a long commute is pretty much all you get to ride, you want to make it as comfortable and fun as possible.

Gators will be fine, just drop the pressure a bit if you want it to last a while.
Furans Plus is almost overkill unless you like riding in the gutter predominantly.

I don't use gators so couldn't tell you.
I've not had any issues with Duranos that other tyres wouldn't also have, ie. I binned it once around a wet bend but I was going way too fast so I think pretty much anything would've let go.

It's a commute, not a race. Run the heaviest, most reliable tyres you can find.
In my case, Durano Plus.
Marathon Plus would last longer but I don't like their squared off profile - the Duranos handle better.
