I've some 23c 115psi Gatorskins atm. They have been faultless regarding P*******s and wear. But they are not very supple.
Anyone tried GP400s?
Or 4 seasons?
Or switched to 25c...why?

I ran 4 Seasons over the winter, no flats on those.
Now the weather's a bit drier I'm back with the Michelin Pro4 Service course.

I bought a pair of 25c GP Four Seasons a couple of weeks back. Have only been out on them three times so far, but early signs are good as they are very supple and comfortable even at 115PSI.

I'll be swapping from Gatorskins back to Michelin Pro4's this week.

Gp4000s here. No punctures in London. The Hutchison Equinox that came with the bike didn't last a day. Contis have excellent grip and roll well. If you can get a deal they are well worth it.

I went the exact same route as you. Hutchison Equinox had a blow out on the first run - they aren't up to much. Bought GP4000s and have been very good

I have used 4 seasons and standard Durano's during winter. Both are grippy and fast. Don't over inflate the 4 seasons. They don't like it.
I use GP4000s and Durano S (red) away from winter which are excellent tyres.
I've just bought some GP4000S 700x25mm to try out on mega long rides for more comfort. The downside to the 700x 25mm size of GP4000S tyre is that they are too big to be used with mudguards on the Red Triban 3. As my frame is now history I am hoping to use them on the replacement frame.
All the above tyres are durable, offer excellent puncture resistance, roll well and have good durability. They are more expensive than some tyres but I personally don't mind paying a premium for good tyres.
