for hard wearing i would recommend the michelin macadams, not soo brill in the wet but lasted for ages.

i've heard good things about the 20's and the 21's. Cant really go far wrong with bridgestone

020's might last ages, but ive found them horrible to ride on ..
010's (or modern equivalent) last forever on lightweight bikes and actually have some feedback ..

Well i have my BT021s screbbed in, VEry good for a commuter tyre, but you might want something a bit stickier all depends. Swings and roundabouts i guess. I think that the 21, has more grip than the 20. More confident too scrapped my toes other day without realizing i was that far over, wasn't even hanging off.
