Panaracer T-Serv. They come in any size you'd need (25mm and
up), and wear like iron. They have a kevlar belt that makes
them "almost" impervious to most road debris. They're pretty
light (250g for 25mm), take a lot of pressure (125psi) and
feel like "performance tires". To top it off, they're pretty
cheap (should easily fall in your budget range). About the
only thing to not like about 'em is that they can be a bear
to get off a rim (which is to say they're not likely to roll
off on their own).

Definately 25 mm on rear wheel - possibly 23 mm on front
wheel. Is the German Continental tire an option around
there? If so, my recommendation would be: Continental Grand
Prix 3000. Look for details on their fine homepage: conti-conti-Open ↗

Rick, Marketing hype makes it hard to know what you are
getting. Here's something to read: See tech tires:

Specialized Mondo Pro or Vredestein Fortezza. I've gone off
Continentals - I don't know if you have flints in New
Hampshire, but we certainly do in Hampshire (UK) and they
slice the sidewalls mercilessly.

I switched out the original tires on my Veloce for
Continental Gran Prix 3000 and the difference was startling!
The rolling resistance was so much lower that the bike even
coasted faster. That was last June. I have had only one flat
since then--a piece of wire the size of a staple (the desk
staple kind) while riding on the side of a busy highway
where all the rubbish collects.
