I use the ones that can take 120 psi. Front one has a blue side, rear red one. Got them cheap for my 1250 + 460 km ride in Finland last year.

I'm pondering this. I switched from Schwalbe Blizzard Kevlar a few months ago, as I was averaging a puncture a ride with them.

I went with Bontrager Hardcases, as Zack has. Not had a puncture with them in a couple of thousand miles, so they have done their job. But they are getting quite cut up and they are not that nice to ride - they feel a bit solid. So I'm thinking of trying something a bit softer for the summer, and for PBP.

What should I go for? I've got a set of nearly new Michelin Pro Race 3 in the garage (came with some wheels I bought), but they just seem too flimsy and I don't want to go back to fixing multiple punctures again! But they get good reviews and I'm sure they would be better to ride, so I suppose I should try them out before PBP...
