The reason the opinion varies substantially on tire choice comes down to many factors. Primary being for myself ride quality over puncture resistance. Obviously any one can go out and buy a pair of Gatorskins or Marathons however they are dogs of a tire and destroy the ride quality of your bike. Some of my favourite posts are the person riding a older titanium bike with high pressure narrow Gatorskins then raving about the high quality of the titanium ride, it's like they are living in an alternative universe.
