451 tire durability

Hello "451" tire users!
I've had a lot of problems with the crop of "451" tires for my Air Friday. They puncture easily and wear quickly!
I'm currently trying the Stelvio, which unfortunately is quite prone to punctures.
The tire I wish I could get for my Air Friday (451), is the Continental Gatorskin.
On my 700c bikes, I've worn out at least 5 of them without flatting! (I've had the same great experience with the Conti GP3000 and 4-seasons.)
Any chance Conti will make 451 tires? (They do make one for the 406, however.)
Many thanks,
Mark

(PS My classic Air Friday climbs reasonably well and still turns heads.)
