If you want marathon style tyres but less wooden, get Duranos, I think they do a 'double defence' version, many people recommend them as particularly puncture resistant road tyres.

The duranos look pretty good. I got Michelin Pro4 Endurance when I wanted 25c, but only because they were good value when on offer. No worries after several 1000k and still going strong.
I stand corrected! Still doesn't make it a good idea in 25c...
