Anti-Puncture Tyres At-a-glance

it will be my post work mission to buy tyres and put them on immediately

also specialized lightweight tubes are shite, 2 have split on the seams - so not really punctures but adding to my time off the bike changing tubes

I'll second that. Had a specialized tube blow the sidewall out of my Stelvio rendering it useless. This happened when I'd just got off the bike and had carried it into my flats. No more Specialized for me.
