Most if not all of them. My first choice in tires is usually the Scwalbe Marathons. I run those on 3 of my bikes. I like the reflective sidewalls.
I have used the Panaracer Col de Vie in other sizes and they have done well. I also have one bike that came stock with Cheng Shin tires and they ran out over 6,000 miles prior to replacement. Kenda is a lower end tire but for general purpose riding they are hard to beat for the price point. IRC is a quality tire, I used those for years on my touring bike. I have a love/hate relation ship with the Michelin Transworld City tires, I have them in a 700c on my grocery getter bike, the tread picks up small sharp edged stones, so far no flats, but the concern exists.
