Thanks, and thanks everyone for all the great replies! I've read reviews on the Kenda K161 and people have said that they are a good tire and all, but they don't last on pavement. The knobs get ground down next to nothing in about 1000 miles, or possibly even less, when strictly riding on pavement. Wow...

I have no intentions of putting aero bars on and racing with the Fuji. I am as "old school" as the bike! I like long rides out in the country, out on the backroads, and checking out the scenery, all while getting in a nice ride and a good workout. A nice comfortable, basic, do anything, touring style of tire would be excellent.
