The best of all worlds is the Schwalbe Ultremo, but they're pricey and hard to find.

If you want all black, consider the Continental GP4000 series. Their black is black, not grey.

For the best deal, ProBikeKit (UK) is your best bet.

Good luck!


(edit: anyone notice that the OP didn't mention in their post whether this is for a road bike or a mountain bike?)
