Wide tyres

Hi can someone recommend me some wide tyres for my Orange Patriot? I currently have Nobby Nic's F&R 2.25 but they are quite narrow and also have picked up 2x punctures on them within a week of each other (tyres are only 2 months old) I had Kenda Nevegals previously on my Giant Talon and had 1 puncture in 7 months!
Was looking at Maxxis High Rollers but they are big bucks and cant really justify spending £70 on 2 tyres so needs to be cheaper than this as well.
Any help appreciated!

<What type of riding? I find for anything other than DH, a 2.25 is more that sufficient. I've got 2.2s on my bike, and it's a good comprimise for all riding.0

Well mostly XC to be fair on local trails but do go away with friends now and again to Wales, Quantocks etc.. I just find the nobby nics are very narrow, the kenda's were actually quite wide and I did like them but dont know if there were any better alternatives? my specialized has the Captains on and they are v.wide but they do clog up a fair bit so are pretty poor on very muddy trails.0

It may not necessarily be the width that is the problem, it may just be the tread for the type of terrain you ride which is causing the problems. Give a set of Mountain King 2.2s a try, I swear by them, and really anything over that size for XC is just overkill if you ask me.0

NN front and RR rear in 2.4 flavour"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
