You want a commuting/century tyre to fit a CX bike, eg middle width 700c rim..
A general purpose, slick 28-32mm should be OK. There re several good ones including Schwalbe Marathon Supreme/Racer, Vittoria Randonneur, Continental Sport Contact.
Some people prefer to commute on a lighter tyre, eg 25mm, others prefer heavier tread such as plain Marathon.

You shouldnt really use a CX tyre for this, the rubber is too soft, the tread is too thick. Keep your CX tyre for off road play or sport.
