After long, long research, I choose Infinity tires as a great city/ commuter tires. I tested them in the last few days, including riding in the forest, and over 90 miles in wet conditions, mostly on asphalt trial. Infinity tires are a perfect marriage of speed and grip in any conditions.
I don't ride much in the city. I mostly hit trails and my commute to work is a mix of trails and asphalt, but it's good info to know. I haven't bought them, but will keep that in mind when looking at tires. How bout the Continental Travel Contact Reflex Tire? That's my other choice. The tires I have on there now are 700 x 45 and was looking for something in the mid to high 30s and the Conti Travel's seem to be another decent option.
