i don't know anything about cx tires and i'm looking for a recommendation for a pair to throw onto my commuter bike. it's an old beater cannondale road bike that i use to commute to work with about 4 miles/day. a coworker of mine gave me this bike and i gave it an ugly (and quite noticeable) paint job to deter thiefs in the city.

i'm looking for something cheap and probably smaller than 700 x 28. i'm running armadillos (which have been GREAT, no flats in 3 months!) right now and there is just enough room to spare, but i'm looking for some knobs to help me out in the snow/rain. any recommendatios on a cheap pair and where to buy them from?

here's some pics of the ride...

$13! oh yeah, now that's what i'm talking about... looking for something cheap. i got other bikes to spend all my $$ on. i'll check these out at REI.
