Continental Grand Prix 4000S2 are a nice fast tire. I haven't tried the newer model, GP 5000, but I assume they are similar. GP 5000 comes in sizes up to 32; 4000S2 tops out at 28, but the tires run a bit wide (my 23s fit more like 25s).

I commute and road ride on these with few problems; my rides are on paved roads and paths with the usual potholes and mild debris like leaves, sand, litter, and the occasional broken glass. Some riders complain about weak sidewalls, so they are probably not the best choice if your commute takes you through gravel/other unpaved surfaces or areas with lots of debris.
