Holy Roller with some tread, but usually had for far less money. Also, the Specialized Rhythm (2.3) and Compound (2.2) tires are good. For comfort while still being able to cruise easier and not work your butt off while getting around. This is why larger (2 - 2.5") slick tires would fit some people's needs better.

Cannondale 50/50 work great. The linear brake cables just barely clear the tires, but they do clear. The wheels have to be installed with the tires deflated.
