Tire suggestions
Picked up a crew district from city grounds. It's my first single speed and I know it's entry level but I plan on doing some upgrades and proa my in winter going to a leader.
So far I ordered shimano 105 front brakes to replace the garbage fronts. Now I'm looking at tires.
Any suggestions? I live in Chicago so very flat and pretty much urban weekend riding and commuting into work on paved roads.

T-Servs are very nice, as mentioned above. Pasela PT is also a great option at a bit lower cost. They don't have as much beef on the sidewall, but I think they're very similar otherwise.

I'm on my second pair. Super reliable tires without the crappy feel of "bulletproof" tires like Gatorskins.

ribmos, paselas, or gatorskins, all great tires.
the gators do feel a bit like wearing a diaper but unless you're used to riding on a race tire you probably won't notice it
