Recommend me some tyres at £20 each that are grippy, tough sidewalls, and 2.35ish or bigger

If you can stretch to £22.99 per tyre I'd recommend a pair of Specialized Eskars.

Looks like I will be going back to them. Like the nevegals grip more but the sidewalls seem weak if run tubeless

Eskar user here as well.

I've run them on my hardtail and full sus for over two years ( obv they wear eventually)

But brilliant all rounders

Purgatorys are great, same price as the Eskars.

I saw some Ignitors in Leisure Lakes for £46 this week.

Tyres for the Omega are only £54!

Have a look at Geax, they have a reasonable range at reasonable prices.

They're not the lightest, but they work well, wear well and are tough!

They come up on the large size and have quite high sidewalls for the width, so a 2.25 Sturdy Freeride, for example, is a pretty big tyre.

I have had the Lobo Loco on my HT for a year or more - starting to look a bit worn, but still plenty to go.

They hook up really well, even when it gets a bit slippery and muddy!
