Question about getting thinner tires for a hybrid

[Thorn]

Panaracer Urban Max -- 28's

We put these on our city bikes on the advice of the LBS. The original tires (Conti Sport) turned into gummy erasers after the first year and started to flat. Since we ride these bikes well into winter we wanted some sturdy, bullet proof tires that would take gravel and would not flat.

We've now got a couple of thousand miles on the tires. No flats over some pretty cruddy roads. Ride is OK--obviously not racing tires, but they don't drag us down more than 1-1.5 mph over our gofast bikes.

+1 for the Panaracer Urban Max. I'm rolling on the 32s on some pretty chopped-up pavement , and I'm very happy with them.

I have the same bike and am also looking to make it faster. I too want a faste bike but don't have the $$$. Thanks for the tire recommendations.
