I've been impressed with the Continental Sport 1000's. Very inexpensive, nice riding,available in 23, 25, & 28 in 700c and 1 1/8 & 1 1/4 in 27"... I like them better than the Avocet FasGrips or the Michelin Axial Sports for econo-tires. There was even a good review in Cycling Plus a few issues back. They're my replacement tire of choice.
