It’s time to change the tyres on my 2014 CAADX. It’s on its original Sammy Slicks and they’ve done the job fine.
I don’t do a lot of miles on it and i’m frankly horrified at the prices I’m seeing for two tyres!
I was hoping to spend maybe £20 a tyre but that’s looking unrealistic! £25?
I just want something relatively good on and off road. most of my riding is fire roads / bridleway and road. No racing, no big sloppy mud rides.
Any recommendations?

I feel your pain, however ... you could get another 10 years riding out of them, would you like to make the bike good to ride over that period?
What's your max width? Fustle bikes have a buy one get one free on WTB tyres ATM
I guess if they last me as long as the Sammy slicks I shouldn’t complain so point taken!

Ah, I think minimum is 38 😢
I’ve got some Terreno mix I don’t use in 33 you can have for £25 the pair. Used once.
How about narrow gravel tyres? Seems to come in wire bead more often, especially as an OEM tyre.
Schwable CX pro is the only CX tyre I remember seeing 'cheap'.
A few cheaper options at Bananaindustries
+1 for Schwalbe CX Pro/Comp.
Schwally Land Cruiser or Smart Sam.
Fairly pleased with Vittoria Terreno Dry (folding version) as an inexpensive gravel tyre - usually available on offer if you look around.
Worth looking for panaracer on Amazon
Wtb cross boss is a good just-riding-around tyre, discounted at £18 on crc at the mo.
A couple of options in Ribble

Including g one all round £18
But personally I’d pay more and get the tyres I want
Yeah loads more choice if you don't get hung up on CX tyres and go gravel. I had some g one 35s on a caadx. Cx is fairly niche these days so mostly high end as the mass market is now gravel
