I commute on 28mm Ultra GatorSkins. A nice fast ride, and they seem
fairly puncture-resistant. I weigh 156lb, and run them at 100psi front,
120psi rear.

They feel a little less supple than my previous tyres, Panaracer
Paselas, but don't have the annoying central ridge to wear down before
you can corner predictably.

My Trek has 25mm GatorSkins. 1800 puncture free miles so far. They're
nicer than the previous tyre (Conti Sport 1000) but what wouldn't be?
