Tire Recommendations, 26"

So I got this gig driving big rig for a living. I've been carrying my Trek 560 along with me and it's great for what it is... but what it is is a hardedged, all-out road machine with tubular tires. Not really what should have been my first choice.

So I'm going to be revamping my Schwinn Impact as an all-rounder. It's in great shape, except for the tires. I'm wondering if I can get some reco's on rubber. I'm thinking something in the 1.5-2.1 inch range, fairly high pressure, gumwall would be nice, a little bit of tread but not knobby would be nice, folding bead a must (it's kind of my thing, baby). If I can get them for under 70 bucks apiece, so much the better. No Contis, no Kendas; I just plain don't like 'em.

Thanks in advice,
Blight
