Look for some discontinued Schwalbe One V-Guards. These were introduced in 2014 and have recently been discounted by many sellers, but the supply is running short because they're outstanding values. Usually they're half the price of the slightly different new version. I paid only $15 each via Jenson USA, but they've been out of stock since July. I'd pay $30 for replacements if needed. They're good tires.

These are slicks, no tread at all. After a break in ride they're great on all dry pavement I've ridden -- smooth asphalt, rough chipseal and striated concrete. They do skid easily on panic stops but stay under control. So far no skids on turns but I tend to take turns very conservatively. I'm very cautious on wet roads but had no problems last weekend when I got caught in a downpour for 10 miles.

Low rolling resistance and not too harsh even at 120 psi (I weigh 160 lbs). Usually I keep 'em around 90-100 psi. Remarkably durable for slicks with soft feeling rubber. I don't see any nicks in mine even after riding some rough roads. No apparent flat spots after a couple of panic skid stops to avoid negligent drivers.

I don't bother with liners, puncture resistant tubes, sealant, etc. Just ordinary Presta tubes and the Schwalbe Ones. The V-Guard already offers some puncture resistance. I just avoid obvious piles of ordinary road debris, the stuff that accumulates along shoulders and intersections.

Big difference in riding feel compared with the entry level Vittoria Zaffiros that came with the bike. I rode the Zaffiros about 500 miles before switching. The Schwable One V-Guards feel lighter, quicker, more supple and much less harsh on rough pavement.

BTW, the Zaffiros are good values, usually around $10 or so in the U.S. Nothing fancy but better rolling resistance than the Luganos. For a little more money the Vittoria Rubinos are reportedly even better, but I've personally ridden only the Zaffiro and Schwalbe One V-Guard.
