Recommendation for 700 x 32 tyres.
Fairly self-explanatory really. I have a Specialised Sirrus 2017 and the original tyres are definitely looking worn out now.
Not a massive bike guy, just use it for commuting, so I'm paralysed with indesicion at the vast amount of tyres available and I'm looking for some advice.
I want to stick with 32mm. This bike will solely be ridden around London (UK) so just on roads, although some of them are in a state.
I'm looking for good puncture resistance and reasonable rolling speed. Happy to pay more for a good set.
Any suggestions people have would be greatfully received.

@Deptfordx, there are actually quite a few options now, but my suggestion: Specialized Roubaix Pro 30/32. Excellent (low) r/r; excellent longevity; v. good puncture resistance; comfy; can't go wrong.
Been using them on my Sirrus (my old one, and now my new one) for a few years now. Can't recommend them highly enough. As long as they make 'em, I'll be buying 'em.
Edit: tire of choice prior was Panaracer Pasela TG Kevlar in 32. A very good tire, but not at all as quick as the Roubaix Pro. I've also tried Jan Heine's Compass (now 'Rene Herse') tires in 32. They are really quick and nice, but if you are riding crap/debris-strewn city streets and roads they are a little bit fragile.

I highly recommend the Schwalbe Marathon. I roll with the 700x32 on my Fuji and really appreciate the huge improvement over the tires they replaced.

If you absolutely do not wanna deal with flats, and ride on roads where that is at all likely, I would just suck up the extra weight and get some of these in 32 mm. I use 'em in goathead country, and they seem very resistant to thorns. The outside of these tires is hard rubber, like a car tire, and very unlikely to get punctured by anything short of a tack, nail, or screw. The extra weight is not that noticeable once you get rolling, and I've found they handle pretty confidently, even at high speed.
