The cheap continental contacts that came with, 37mm. They're pretty much worn out. I'm ordering some panaracer paselas. I was going to go down to 32, but the roads around here are so bad I just don't want to. With my weight and the bike, I'm supposed to be around 60psi for the back and 50 psi for the front, but because of all the broken pavement and frost heaves, I go about 47 on the back and 40 on the front. I've gone lower, but cornering gets a little hairy.
