Another solid option to consider. They have a more aggressive tread than the Conti DoubleFighter if that is what the OP desires. Both tires are solid values in my book too. I've spent time on the same bike with both tires and would pick the DoubleFighter for a bike that spends a majority of the time on paved surfaces.

Any good pad makes a difference and the Koolstops are an especially nice option.
