Which Cyclocross tyres?

GEPC

Its time to replace the tyres on the cyclocross I picked up second hand (On One ticross) and I wanted to see if anyone had any advice on a good tyre.

The bike spends most of its time on road commuting but the whole reason that I bought a cyclocross bike was to give me the flexibility to go off road on it so I don't want to put out and out road tyres on it. Essentialy I am after a tyre that will be quick on the road and still handle some of the rough stuff.

If any of you have and advice I would be glad to hear it.

Probably best to have two sets of tyres IMO

Some nice road tyres-my rec for commuting would be Michelin Transworld City, or Gatorskins for a bit more speed

for offroad the Schwalbe Racing Ralphs are the DDs or the Comps, which are a bit cheaper, heavier, and less aggressive (could use these on road too, at a pinch)
