Need help with tires.......?!?!

[runnermike]

I'm in the process of a build right now and need help finding 26" tires. All my other builds have used the tires that came on the bikes. But, this build is custom. There are so many choices...maxxis, quick brick, continental.....I will mainly use the bike to commute to work. Any input would be great!

Bontrager makes some good stuff if you can afford them. I had good life out of a kevlar belted flat-resistant street tire on one of my early 26" MTB builds. It was sensitive to pressures though. Kept tearing out valve stems if I didn't keep it right at 65lbs/sq.in

For $17 I really like these (ssh, don't tell but I'd like 'em at even twice the price) I run 'em on all my street bikes;
