They are Forte Strada K's, make sure you get the 'K's' and not the regular Strada's, the 'K's' have a Kevlar belt in them.
I've got these on my commuter and just put a set on my son's new commuter. I flatted twice (one front, one rear) shortly after putting them on my bike. Having never flatted on the road with the Forte GT2/Ks they replaced (PBS discontinued these), I was very disappointed. I stuck with them, however, and have not flatted on the road in the 500 miles since (though I did get a Michelin thorn a couple of weeks ago that gave me a slow leak but was able to make it home before patching).

I have Conti Gatorskins on my road bike as well as my wife's. They've been awesome but are a bit above your budget.
