I'm looking for some new road bike tyres for my Decathlon 7.1 after mine have got punctured twice in the space of a month. I'd really like some which are as puncture resistant as possible whilst not making the ride too harsh. If anyone could recommend some decent ones I'd be very grateful.

You after 700cs?

Bontrage Racelite Hardcases tbh.
Although it has to be asked why an MXer and MTBer like KB is putting his name on road bike tyres?!.
If your having puncture problems, ultraseal does the job tbh, but will make your wheels heavier, the other option would be to go tubeless (I dunno how common it is now...) and then put something like Art Latex in the tube.

Conti 4000's. I have never (touch wood) punctured them. If you are not worried about going too fast round corners then duraskins will not puncture.
The contis are very supple and stick well, the bonty's are less supple but i would imagine wear a little longer.

I have some Vittoria Rubino Kevlars. They do puncture and the kevlar makes them a bugger to get on and off. 
They have funky red bits though

Please please please take "getting on/off difficulty" into consideration (unless you are an expert or something) as the last thing you want is mucking round in the rain faffing with a stubborn tyre for a good time

Hutchinson Fast Air > * tbh, not only is it an inflater (which are pretty common now) but it also has a sealant in it, so it'll atleast get you out the rain.ojo said:Please please please take "getting on/off difficulty" into consideration (unless you are an expert or something) as the last thing you want is mucking round in the rain faffing with a stubborn tyre for a good time
