tire recommendation for road use

Hi
I got myself one of the carrera furys that are on sale on the halfords website and am really pleased with it apart from the the tire choice. They are continental gravitys and seem really thick which is ok but I do a lot of commuting to work on roads with only occasional offroad use. Could anyone give me some ideas on tires that would be of more use to my needs and what makes I would need to be looking at.
Thanks a lot

Its a bit paradoxical to want tyres that are good on road and off. If you want to compromise off road performance then something like Continental Travel Contacts would be good. If you want a complete road tyre than the Specialized Fat Boys come recommended.
I'll see you at the end.
You'll see me on the floor.
The continental travel contacts sound pretty good. So would these be ok just for the occasional offroad and nothing too heavy? I will keep the gravitys for when I do wanna do something a little more extreme like on a weekend.
Thanks again

Second that, I did the C2C (with all the off road bits as well) on a pair of Mach ss, very good on road, not bad off road as long as it's dry & hard.
So im looking at these ones here? http://www.evanscycles.com/product.jsp?style=10025
There is an evans near me so would be good if they have them in stock
I got one too!!!
I have Schwalbe Road Cruisers on mine. cost £17 for a pair off ebay.
They have been excellent. Puncture protection, too.
