Pave then. I'd rather have a tyre that feels nice and makes me want to ride me ride my bike than some tractor tyre that'll never puncture.
That said I'm blessed with relatively few p*nct*r*s. Regularly checking my tyres for flints probably helps.

Yes. I'd used them for years on the roadie, then stuck a pair of Rubino Pros on there. Went back to Duranos after wearing through the Rubinos and the sluggishness was really noticeable. I've since got a new road bike and stuck Schwalbe Ones on there, which are nicer.
Still running Durano Plus on the fixed gear as I really can't be arsed with punctures and track nuts.

I'll take 'dead feeling' tyres over flat ones any day.
Durano Plus have basically been fit and forget tyres. That's what you want for commuting and mindless winter miles in shitty Chiltern lanes. I don't need to 'feel' all the potholes and bits of flint that are about to spoil my mood. I don't need to be able to make that damp corner at 30mph because it's not a race. Save the posh rubber for racing.

Don't you find durano plus to be incredibly dead tyres? I know winter/fixed/brakeless aspects involve many trade-offs, but although the ride is grippy and puncture proof, it does feel pretty lifeless. I've used them for the last year but I need to find something with similar grip but better feel...not so bothered about punctures.
