i have Continentals on my commuter - 47s. it is a Trek hybrid from 2001. They take care of the seams in the road, the poor transitions from road to MUP, crushed limestone, crushed rock transitions and more. I think they max at 60psi or something. The bulk is nice with my weight (210lb) and with a rack and bag they make for a nice ride. Response is way slower than the 32s on my road bike however, but at 210lbs a few grams here and there aren't an issue My preference is to put the biggest tire I can on my commuter bike since I also use it for running errands, pulling cargo trailer, and riding with the fam on neighborhood streets full of seams.
