durable tires

Hi,
I've just bought a set of "puncture proof" tyres in the UK. They are great, slightly more rollling resistance than my normal 700Cx23 but great for winter training. Prior to using these, I was puncturing 1-2 times per training run. The company which sells them say they are about 1-2mph slower that normal tyres.
They are made by a company called GreenTyre. If you want more details then please let me know.
PS they come in different colours for the image concious.

well i found that i can order them right from the GreenTyre website. though i'm a bit weary of the whole airless thing. how does the feel of the ride compare to regular rubber tyres. also i will be riding about 200 mile weeks this summer and i don't want something that will fatigue me quickly by trying to avg at least 17 mph. i probably won't be racing so its not much of a factor. I just cycle to keep in shape and for the mere enjoyment of being on a bike that i so dearly love. Stupid winter is keepin me off from it right now. being cold just takes away all the fun

Tough, hard to get flats and good for training since they're a bit on the heavy side, it can only make you stronger boy!

I've only done about 200 miles on the GreenTyres and find them fine. Not as comfortable as air but not as hard as you might think. They claim about 100psi and I have no reason to doubt this but I do have carbon forks which helps. Just the lack of punctures makes them great for training and winter runs.
i also use the specialized armadillos. they have a kevlar lining, and i also put a tire liner in them. i rarely have a flat, and when i get one, i know it was something big that i ran over.
they also wear very well, too. probably not the fastest tire, but one of the most durable i've seen. they are about $35 each in the US.
