The black specs are probably brake dust or something from the road? Water + brake dust = black specs for me.
I've had Schwalbe Big Ben (raceguard) and Marathon green guard tires on my bikes. The Big Ben/Big Apple tires really do have great rolling resistance. The Marathons are a great value. I picked up a set of Schwalbe Marathon Winter tires for my folding bike for $25/each on ChainReactionCycles (UK site).
