Conti travel city's(?) very similar but better puncture resistance.
Make sure you use relevant tubes with matching width and psi-ratings
or if you want pure speed Hutchinson GoldSlick's.
not much wider than a road 23-5mm tyre
If youre after longevity thru winter go the good ol' Metro IRC's. bit heavier but bulletproof and very comfy.

Conti Travel Contact?
http://www.greggscycles.com/cartgenie/prod-195.htm
I don't include these in my list because they are the stoopid semi-slick
type of tyre (with knobs on the edges). Fast cornering on bitchy is
pretty skittish when you transition from slick to the knobs. I don't
like? I don't list.

No, no. Continental also have the Sport Contact tyre - it's a full slick in
26" or 700C, with a light oscillating siping, no knobs, and their puncture
protection in the tread is allegedly very effective.

I'm happy with my Conti Town and Country on the front and IRC Metro on the
back. T & C is a bit tubbier and comfier, run at ~ 60psi with the IRC
skinnier and harder at ~80-100psi. I can detect bugger-all difference in
speed from when I ran IRCs on both, but the T & C makes a difference to how
much my buggered-up wrists ache (industrial injury, not cycling).

Yeah I use Hutchi Top Slicks. I've just replaced my 1st set which
lasted 12 months of about 100km a week commuting. I've found them
better than Conti 26' GP's. I could get the GP's here, but I've
Interneted the Hutchi's.
