Then don't. Tires that are preferred by the people who say uncharitable things about Gatorskins (I'm one of those people and I'll be happy to go off if you want some entertainment) are more prone to flatting. You said one of the reasons you like your tires is they don't do that. So, don't drop $80 a tire for supple, fast race tires with tissue paper sidewalls. You may or may not notice or appreciate the difference in how they ride, and they won't last as long. You're happy now and at a good $ value. It ain't broke, don't fix it.
