A more expensive MIchelin? They have good adherence on wet (summer) and wear well. Not the quieter but not noisy either. What I appreciate is I had less punctures with this brand (maybe just in my mind, but some tires may puncture more easily than others)

The Pirelli Cinturato sound intriguing and I'm looking into those at the moment.

I've got Hankook Ventus tires on now and even at 40ish psi the fronts look flat. It's really frustrating. That whiteblock weighs a lot apparently. lol
