If there are no major rocks on your ride stick with a 28 road tire like a Conti Gator hardshell, or if you want to go big time, Vittoria Open Pave CG,

my friend gave me his pair of specialized road tires 23c. currently using that on my cx when i'm riding with other friends. the 35c is a bit wide.. should've gone with 28 or 32c instead, so i don't have to deflat just to remove the front tires. but thanks to everyone's advise.. running lower psi is much comfy and seem to roll much better as compared to 85-90psi before.

Using Schwalbe Marathon Racer in 30 or Ultremo DX 28s here. Even the 35 is a good ride. Like tires with rounder profile than the Panaracer tires have. Found the Ruffy Tuffy / Jack Browns to be very sluggish.

I run 23 mm. They work fine for me under just about all circumstances. Was toying with the idea of 25 mm due to all the favorable press( I hope I'm not falling for hype here), under the theory the added stability may help on descents, but will probably keep with the 23's as my bike was not designed for 25mm tires.
