I have a pair of Panaracer High-Road V tires on my commuter / "urban" bike, 26" and 1.5" wide. The tires are OK - they wear quite slowly but handling isn't that great. I've also gotten one flat in the past 1000 miles or so, which is OK I guess - very small sample size.

My g/f has a pair of Nashbar "streetwise" tires. I like these ones a lot - they wear great and have predicable handling. They're also very cheap, $9 each last time I looked.
