Consider Mavic MA-3s.

I run x35s and x32s on my commuter with Mavic MA-2s, which were replaced by the MA-3s. I've heard Mavic doesn't necessarily condone this combination, but I've been using it for years after reading a recommendation by Jobst Brandt in rec.bicycles. I've used Conti Top Touring (x35s and x32s, wire bead) and, currently, Avocet Cross IIs (x35s, kevlar bead). The Cross II x35 has a cross section size similar to the TT x32.

Generally, you run maybe 90psi max in x32s... hardly enough to be a problem with a good, solid rim.
