Not had a puncture on them yet over 6 months in. As a guide, I started with a Schwalbe Big Apple a big fat comfy slick which was fine and my wife now uses it.
Then Schwalbe Kojaks, then Sport Contacts gradually smaller and a bit faster and firmer each time. I did get the impression my LBS were taking advantage of my non-existent knowledge of tyres to try and make me buy the more expensive option!
Sounds like Schwalbe are the way to go in terms of brand, looking at their section on the Halfords website now. Apologies again for my ignorance, but which width would provide the easier-pedalling? The guy said something about having to buy a new inner tube if I went with the fully-slicks but not with semi? Maybe go for something like a 26 x 1. Sort of mid sized. Pretty much all the tyres mentioned by everyone above are good at avoiding punctures which is important as you ride more.
What size tyres do you have currently? Bit more expensive, but work well. Just had a look and my current tyres are 26 x 2. Sounds like a slight difference, not sure what that means in terms of inner-tube?

This tyre is more about style and durability — when dry it runs fine but in wet or off-road conditions it suffers from its tough rubber.
Hopefully one day WTB will update it to be dual compound or just add a tackier rubber for better cornering and grip. Pros: Looks awesome Fast and very fun in the dry Great puncture resistance and durability. Cons: The hard rubber means off-road and wet weather grip is not great Stiff rubber also means that it is not as comfortable a ride as a 52c tyre should be Surprisingly hard to get a hold of come on WTB, what are you doing?
Schwalbe is well known for their fantastic tyre engineering and great build quality. The G-one started out as a beach racing tire hence it massive volume compared to the others but is lately becoming a bit of a monstercross favorite.
Pros: Massive air volume Surprisingly low rolling resistance Lightweight for its size. Cons: Punctures easily Squirmish under braking Will not fit most frames, would be good to see a 45cc version.
Buy Schwalbe G-One Speed. Pros: Really really good value Low rolling resistance Surprising off-road grip. Cons: Can drift when cornering hard on wet roads Not the greatest puncture resistance Bit heavy. Buy Halo Twin Rail 29er. These tyres were primarily designed for riding on the loose gravel of old rail trails for long distances, but they are very versatile.
Cons: Hard to find Expensive when you do find it Could be a little wider for when going over the rougher stuff. If you want to go big — but still go fast — then this is simply the best option out there. And before you ask — yes, they are a little pricey and as with all good things it is very hard to find them in stock, but they are worth it! Pros: Perfect combination of width and slick tread pattern Rides like a forgiving road tyre on road, and a fast CX tyre off road Great all weather grip.
