Halfrauds do the anti puncture ones, or a standard 5 pack for £15. (Been ok so far, only run upto 60 psi though)

I run my NS race cruiser tyres at about 90 usually and use any tubes. Main thing is that they're clean, don't get pinched and are well-fitted, and that the tyre itself is capable of supporting that high pressure.

Have you checked your rim tape is thick enough?  i used to have to run a cut tube over the top on some of my old rims as the spoke nipples kept pinching them.

Good point - once when I took my wheels to my LBS for their regular spoke replacement and truing  :-[ :-[ :-[ , they installed some really tough woven rimtape designed for MTBing, seems to have helped for me :daumenhoch:
