Found them at Tweeks Cycles for £26.99 each free delivery...

Are these the right ones?

Bought 25c's GP4000S from tweeks, seem to be ok and cheaper than wiggle by a margin.

In case you were not aware.....Chainreaction are doing 20% off vouchers at the moment for Xmas. Granted they can't be spent till after Xmas.....but if like me, you have asked relatives to buy Cycle Vouchers - worth a shout as get more for vouchers for their hard earned cash.

Are these good for winter? I need something that aren't slicks and that don't puncture too much!

Yup spot on and a good price but they are sliks, got mine from him for best offer of 12.50 each on a pair. If you want virtually puncure proof I've been running Marathon Plus for over 1000 miles over all sort of cr*p without any punctures.

They aren't proper sliks as they do have a tread pattern.

They are virtually puncture proof too and as Luckypants will testify as well they have awesome grip wet or dry and at that price it'd be silly not to snap them up.

I haven't had any punctures either and Conti's are my favourite brand by far

Agreed, on the road the Gatorskins are spot on and have them on my road bike, however my commute is mixed surface and the Plus's give that extra bit of grip on the loose stuff.
