I have Continental Country Ride tires on my Kona. They seem to be the perfect mix of "slick" and "sturdy" for the way I ride on the road.
For example: "Hey, Knot, there's some glass!" ooops, rode right through it "Hey, Knot, there's a pothole!" ooooops, rode right over it "Hey, Knot, there's the edge of the pavement!!" ooops, hit the gravel
I can do 20 or 30 miles without feeling at all like I did when riding knobbies, and without worrying about bashing the bejeebers out of road tires.
Edit: oops! Lois, I meant that the tires are faster and I go farther with less effort. More efficient.
