Do you think a 700x32 would fit these rims? I think that's the width that i want.
Definitely 32's would fit. How much you planning on spending? Continentals are pretty popular if you don't mind spending $80 or so a pair. Those are pretty much all I use if I need a high performance tire. But everyone has their own brand preference, Even something that's $40 a pair should be decent for most purposes. I think Conti has some Super Sports that are around that price, or used to cost that much anyway, last time I bought any.
EDIT: Looks like those run around $50 a pair these days. Good tires though.
