I've recently picked up an On One Pompino as a commuter/pub/urban bike, and looking for some fast-rolling tyres that will manage a bit of light off road.
(I've a gravel bike too, with 40c Nano's, so have the 'off road gravel' covered)
Looking at 700x32/33/35. Don't need to be tubeless. Do need to be cheap (around £20 per tyre max), ideally folding rather than wire bead.
Any recommendations?
There's someone on FB selling some 35mm Terreno Dry? £25 each I think
Or these?

I was researching similar recently hence the knowledge!
You might struggle otherwise although I think there were some cheap Terreno Mix available (not the TNT casing and not sure about compound) or cheap Schwalbe CX Comps which looked a bit old school but probably work fine 👍
I've used the Continental CrossKing before, probably a bit more treaded than I need, but they used to roll well. Nowhere seems to stock them though now.
I've also used the Schwalbe CX Comp before. By far the worst tyre I've ever used. Wooden, slow, very puncture prone.
WTB Cross Boss are on CRC for under £20. Anyone know what they're like?
WTB Riddler on my hybrid/gravel/XC/road thingy....
Works well on nearly everything.

I've got some part worn ones you'd be welcome to, have been hoarding them for race duties as they're nice and light, but am now tubeless so that won't be happening.
Am waiting for a locksmith to arrive and let me back into my garage but will check details once he's been.

Some touring tyres work well for this - I am a broken record in saying mrs_oab's Continental Speed Contact and my Top Contacts are ace for 80% road, 10% sh*tty road and 10% off road.
Something like this is £12...
I've got some of these coming hopefully in the next few days

(Stealth ad alert!) I’ve got a pair of WTB cross boss 700c 35c tan walls that I was going to list on the classifieds.
