Hi, I'm in need of some recommendations for new tyres. Am short on brass though so don't want to spend a great deal per tyre £20 absolute max each.
Can anyone make any recommendations? Or is anyone aware of any good deals to be had at the moment?

I've been using Giant PR 2s until recently, in the past I've used Vittoria Zafiros which were ok but is there anythign better for similar cost?

    Haven't used them but Michelin Pro 4 Service Course tyres come in 700x25c and are reduced from £40 to £23 on Wiggle. Slightly above your budget I know.

    they also have Vittoria Rubino Pro Folders for £19.99 in 700x25c

    Chain reactions and others also have these discounted.

    I'd say either of the above. Tyres these days have got bloody expensive.

    Sorry also coming in above your budget but my favourite hoop of rubber at £25 if you shop around - the Conti GP4000s, black chilli compound, bags of grip, comfort and compliance.

    Unfortunately only the fronts are available there now.
    I'll have a good look around and see what I can get.
    Thanks for the advice guys

    I have had some 25 mm Michelin lithion 2 on for the last 6 months and rate them.

    Excellent tyres. Fast and comfortable. No issues with punctures etc either.

    I'm a massive Rubino fan. I find I get loads of flats with GP4000S in the wet so I've given up on them after trying 3 sets on different bikes. The Vittoria Rubino Pro folders can be found for as little as £17 each. If you want more grip - and some people do - get the EVO version for a couple of quid more.

    Tbh if you`re that strapped for cash I`d go for them, it`s not as if its a different tread pattern or size! Ride them until you can see the threads while saving up for some more :D
