Re: road tyres
Depends on the level of performance you would like; the better performing tyres being more pricey. I've not come across anything better performing than the top notch offerings from Vittoria, and have used Open Corsa CX in 25c version for a long time.
I should coco.

The Vittoria Open Corsa tyres are nearly unanimously praised for their low rolling resistance and comfort, but they are anything but cheap. Decent alternatives include the Schwalbe Ultremo ZX (or maybe the new Schwalbe One?), the Michelin Pro4 Service Course, and the Continental Grand Prix 4000 S (the latter being a bit pricier again). These are all fast tyres with minimal puncture protection.
Would be worth considering a 25 mm tyre if it fits your bike. The tyres above are all available in 25 mm.
