I've been running Continental GP5000 tires on my road bike the last few years. I agree they're not supposed to be for commuting, but I haven't found they flat any more or less often than other tires I've tried. My road bike is my primary commuter if there's no precipitation in the forecast, so they see a lot of hard miles. My only beef with them is they cost at least $60 per tire and I only get about 2,500 miles out of a set.
