I think the hard case are really good tires. I have had a set on a road bike and was very pleased with them, come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I have some on my trek mountain bike.
It's like everything else, you get what you pay for, the racers that are worried about weight will argue that the tough tires, (kevlar belted and all that good stuff) are heavier, but for myself I would rather ride than fix flats. Run anything and carry a spare tube, patches, tire levers, and a pump.
You probably wouldn't like my choice for a set because of the price. I tend to over spend when it is someone else doing the spending. I do however like specialized armadillos and schwalbe tires.
Also something to think about it might be a good time to go with something less aggressive if say you don't really need all that grip all the time. Less aggressive would make light trail riding and riding on pavement and sidewalks and bike paths slightly easier.

Your signatures annoy me.
