Now that I have more rides (mainly commuting) on them I can concur with what Angry said regarding the Conti 700x32 4 Seasons. They are not pleasant. Getting up to speed from a red light is sluggish at best.

i'm going to throw this out there since i haven't seen them mentioned in the conversation. i am a big fan of wtb tires. i have some horizons (650x47) on the commuter, some senderos (650x47) on the sscx, and i just starting riding the exposure 30s on the synapse. i am a big fan of these tires. supple, good handling/cornering, accelerate up pretty quick. they are sluggish on climbs, but if you are running 30s at 65 psi that's gonna happen. plus wtb tires last forever.

Best 700x32c tires for road use.

I got two for $30. If I don’t like them, I’ll throw them away.
Keep in mind, the intention is pure road riding. They have to be more comfortable than 23c or 25c tires.

LOL.
I installed them earlier tonight, but I don’t think I’ll be able to ride tomorrow. A friend sold them to me, and have other friends waiting to try them as well. Worse case, it would be a good experiment.
