If you spend the money on Conti's, I recommend the Grand Prix 4000 in yellow, or the Attack/Force pair in yellow.
Thanx for the suggestions all..

Im really having a hell of a time adjusting the bearings on the wheels. Im not sure if i'm doing it right, I was able to find some washers to put on the quick release and from what i have read i put the weight on the axle, and this is supposed to simulate what it would be in the frame. am i correct on this? Then i can go ahead and adjust the tension on the bearings, leaving a little play right?
I even put a screw on the end to simulate the pendulum effect it rolled till it got to the 6 o'clock position.

Am i missing something in doing this?
Honestly it feel like im not doing it right for whatever reason.
