I'll second the continentals. Both my bro and i have them, he has the verticals and i have explorers and they both work well. The best thing about Conti's is the HUGE verieity of tires that they offer to fit exactly what you're looking for. If you do go with them be sure to spend the extra money and get the "Protection" version. I pinch flatted all the time with the panaracers and havent had that problem with them in 7 months on the explorers
