Help finding reasonably priced (read: cheap) 700x32 gumwalls

Thanks everyone for reading this.

I am looking for some 700x32 gumwall (or tan) tires for a Schwinn Suburban project I am building. The reason I would like the 32's is because they would fill in the fender diameter much like the original 27's did. I had originally wanted the Michelin World Tour, because they were relatively inexpensive, but apparently Michelin considers the reflective sidewalls the better way to go.

Any suggestions for a tire that would serve my purpose? I don't need anything high speed, just this size in a gumwall type tire.

Thanks in advance!

Panaracer Pasela, always an amazing value for the price (about $20 each at Nashbar right now).

I have the 700x32 Paselas on my daily commuter and I think they are great.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I will definitely be going the Pasela route if eBay UK fails me.

Never hurts to check Nashbar's returns page. I got a couple 27 x 1-1/8 Pasela folders a while back for about $12 each.
