Best Road Tyres

What exactly do you mean? Remember, there is always some kind of trade-off, in terms of weight, durability, puncture resistance, etc.

Having said that, I am riding Vittoria Rubinho Pros as a good all round training clincher (I do not race, and am more interested in puncture resistance and durability).

Michelin pro race are the best tyres in my opinion in any weather.

Yep, they are very good.
I think I've punctured once in 2 years of riding them and that's a lot of miles...

I second the Vittoria Rubino's for training. They have good puncture resistance, they're inexpensive, quite light at 230 g each, can be pumped up to 120 psi and are easy to mount/dismount. Use Veloflex Corsa's for racing. Very fast, light, supple tires with superb grip and are easy to mount. They have surprisingly good puncture resistance for their weight until they start to wear which unfortunately isn't after very long. Another good recommendation are the Continental Gator Skins though i found them to be rather too sluggish for my taste.

I've found the pro races to be a little sketchy at the limit on wet roads. Slightly better for me are Conti GP3000s, and at the moment I've got the Conti Attack/Force combo on my race wheels - haven't ridden them long enough to form an opinion yet.

For training tyres I run a Conti Ultrasport on the rear - its very durable on the indoor trainer, and still handles ok outdoors, and Conti GP 4 seasons on the front - OUTSTANDING in the wet but not to be used for racing on hot roads (big-time tread loss).
