Suggestions on tyres anyone?

MTB noob

I have already posted once about this but I have a different riding style now.

My Carrera Valour has a 2.1 Kenda on the front and a 2.35 Schwable on the back and there is a sense of drag when i'm off road compared to a set of Michelin 2.2's.

I have a low budget of £20 per tyre and my riding style is fast and long distance on wet chalky/muddy terrain with rocks. I do use it on the road as well so it needs to be easy rolling. ( i know its a hard question)

Is there any reason for this and what would be a better alternative for it?

Thanks

Maybe swap the tyres around and run them at a higher pressure than you're using now.

I always keep my tyres at 50psi or 40 in the wet so it can roll easily when i am on the road.

What Kenda and Schwalbe tyres?

I asked the question a while back which tyres would be best for an all rounder to cope with trails while not causing too much drag when on road, the answer came back as Panaracer XC Fire Pro. I bought some to replace the Mountain Kings on my Boardman Comp and they fit the bill really well. You can pick up the wire bead version for about 15 quid.
