I've also heard good things about continental gatorskins. All of those should be available in a 700x35 size (and many others) | |

You can generally tell snakebite punctures from the holes -- they often come in pairs, one on the outside diameter and a matching one on the inside (hence "snakebite"), positioned off-center such that they are over the rim edge. | |
