Folding Slicks

I am using my mtn bike to commute, and in the spring will swap out my studded tires on my extra set of wheels from some slicks. So far, I have only found wire bead slicks. Anyone know if there are folding slicks available? I live "overseas" and prefer not to ship a wire bead tire.

Use the bike the same way; there's lots of folding slicks available, ranging from Hutchinson Top Slick to (my favourite) the not-quite-so-slick Panaracer Pasela Tourguard folding, available in 1.5 and 1.75. Any of these should be readily available.
