AWOL Comp upgrade on wheels and rubber?
I'm really enjoying my AWOL Comp. I've added a carbon seat post and a new flat handle bar. The steel bike+carbon seat post makes for a really smooth ride.
I wanted to know, however, down the road if I should decided to upgrade my tires and my rims, what would be your recommendations ? While there are a few instances where I'm riding on gravel and dirt, about 90% of the time I'm on the pavement during my commute (30 miles round trip). So maybe a bit more speed without sacrificing durability would be nice.

If you can afford them, get the Schwalbe Mondial Evo - nice folding bead tires. The renowned Schwalbe Marathon Dureme are now out of stock.
Folding bead tires are ideal if you want a combo of lightness and durability.
