I presume this is a mountain bike. If you are using it mainly on pavement as a commuter, I have used the Kenda K193 Kwest (smooth pattern, actually modeled off a motorcycle tire, also had it on my Honda ) which I really liked, tough and smooth rolling. I switched those up to the Forte Gotham when I moved to using the bike more on clay and limestone trails, bit more aggressive tread to counteract slickness when wet, and a bit narrower too. Both were infinitely nicer to ride on than knobby MTB tires. Neither were expensive, got the Kendas from a local sporting good chain for like $11, and the Fortes were $12 IIRC.
