With traffic lights and traffic, you can ride just about any old piece if shit and arrive at the same time.
I just enjoy riding on my Conti GPs because the bike absolutely boots it when you lay the power down. I've ridden wider tyres too, eg. Conti 32c slicks, but prefer narrower. Also, upright riding position doesn't make a very noticeable difference until you're riding into maybe the 20s which you may not do on a commute. I ride up to 30-30mph every day which is utterly pointless, but I find it fun.
