Panaracer Urban Max in 700x32. They're pretty fl#%*-resistant. I do give them a quick check about once a week to pick out any little shards of glass before they work their way through to the tube. IME, when they start fl&^%ing, it's because it's time for a new one.

I used to commute on my mountain bike, before buying the 'cross monster, and won't go back. I feel so much faster, more manueverable, and safer on my cross bike.
