Tires that roll well and are puncture resistant?

[XXtwindad]

Is this an oxymoron?

I live in the East Bay Area where the roads are crap. The owner of my lbs paraphrased Bontrager “get Gatorskins or Armadillos. Or move somewhere where they don’t break glass on the street.”

The tires I punctured were Vittoria Corsas. And not for the first time, either. It’s too bad, because they’re so supple and roll so well. Is there a solution?

Not the aforementioned Gators or Armadillos. Or Gravel King Slicks, either. Durable, but not great in the “rolling” department.
