Life's too short, never mind just wearing out your current compromise tyres, bin them and buy the best, GP5000! 😁

If you don't want punctures try Schwalbe Duranos. Not the fastest tyre on the road but comfy and practically bomb-proof.

Ageed ..except Schwalbe have stopped making Duranos. My new go to tyre is the Durano replacement Schwalbe One folding bead. It's pretty much identical to the old Durano. A size 700x25c weighs about 250g.

There's a Durano Plus and a Durano DD on the website:

Which is the One?

Neither of those are the good old plain folding bead Durano. The Durano DD is heavy and a bit wooden riding.
These links take you to the right "One"...
