I was looking for the tires that I got for Cheryl, but didn't find them. Panaracer somethings...they were alright.

Were I looking for something like what you want I think I might check into these Vittoria tires. I have NO personal experience with these tires or even the company, but they have enough positive comments that I would look further into them. Same price range, or better. Less than half the weight. You might get up to speed by the time you get to work.
