Vittoria Randonneurs, especially in the wet, cheap but take a low PSI! I run mine to 100 and the sidewalls hold out fine!
I would recommend something a bit more road, like a Gatorskin, a Rubino or a Hardcase up front!
I rocked some Bontrager Hardcases in 700c x 28 which were fine, but a bit slippy in the wet! I didn't really like them, but still have one on the front!
If you are skidding, don't buy anything under a 28c as they will be too thin and will not take a lot of skidding. Also cyclocross tyres are good.
