Try and get some Panaracers XC Pro, with some looking you should be able to get wired for about £10 each and they'll be 3 times better.....

Im happy enuf to go up to £30 for a pair of tyres. I've used Panaracers before so will have a look for some of them; thanks for the pointes. Also quite taken by Continentals as below. But which to go for?! Mountain King IIs?

I'm specifically looking at 2.0/2.1 or 2.2 widths.

The panaracers mentioned really are likely to be the best you'll get for less than £15 per tyre.
Best price i could find at a quick glance.

I wasn't looking to save weight particularly as I ride my mtb for fun not to win Olympic gold more some decent tyres at decent money! That said if I spot something at a good price that will improve the feel of my bike I'm happy to shave 100g + off the weight I'm lugging around the trails.
Oh did I say I'm 20st and thinking of going on a diet?!!!!
Corners (actually 11st dripping wet).
if you added 50g to each of my bikes tyres id probably not even notice, let alone care. and for whatever reason you've starting banging on about other components on bikes, which has nothing to do with anything in this thread.
That said, the insight that if you added 50g to the weight of every component on your bike it would be much heavier was nevertheless extremely useful.
