Unfortunately, with your tire sizes, you don't have much in terms of choices. Most of the tires you will find in those sizes will suit your needs perfectly.

I've got a Michelin Pilot Race H2 (street tire) 110/70/17 that I'll sell you for cheap. I got it in a set from a friend and I could only use the rear on my rims. Brand new, still got the sticker on it.
