I commuted and did double centuries on the Grand Bois Cerf green labels for about a year. I had great luck with them. Light, fast, and pretty puncture resistant. For me. Other people may differ in their opinion, but I find that if I unweight my saddle going over stuff, keep and eye out and avoid stuff, and occasionally inspect the tires that they serve me well.

Great Question. It's the same question I posted at the end of the "Where does the Rambouillet fit into the Rivendell Line Thread. It must haven't gotten lost in the shuffle. I need new tires for my Ram, so I'm tuned in to this question. But it depends what you mean by "best". Jan Heine clearly defines that as lowest rolling resistance and fastest. GP means, decent speed and most comfortable. A commuter, who isn't daft in the head, means most puncture resistant. I really appreciate a light, fast responsive bike and the ride it gives me; but the reality is that VT road shoulders have miles of poor pavement (and even where the pavement is good it might be covered in dried cow poop!) so I want the fastest tire that doesn't feel agonizing after and hour of rough road riding. JB's, wins hands down in the +30 category; but what's the best choice in the 3o and under arena? Some have commented on puncture resistance, which I take to mean resistance to sharp objects, but what about the comfort-speed continuum on less than perfect pavement?
