As usual, I'm on the lookout for an unlikely combination of criteria:
29", fast-rolling but without a total lack of grip, 2.3-2.5" or thereabouts, and bargainmungous.
As a reference point, I picked up a pair of WTB Nine Lines in my LBS's bargain bin for £10 each a while back. They're absolutely spot on apart from the fact that they're the 2.0" version; if I could find the 2.25" version cheap, that'd do nicely, but I can't.
Anything else I should look at? Would like to pay buttons because I'm a tight fisted git and, more reasonably, it's not as if I can't use the tyres I've already got 😉 so £20 each end is the top limit.

I got some Shwobble Big Ones (2.35) from Planet X for £33 posted a while back, they might have some left.
Aha! Planet X seem to have the cheap version of the Nine Lines at the moment, plus a couple of other things of interest. Thanks 🙂
Yeah, I went to check and spent £42 I wasn't intending to spend - pair of Rivendell Jack Browns.
What else did you find?
Slightly smaller than you wanted, mind, at 2.2, but I have them in 27.5 and they aren't that skinny.
What else did you find?
Mainly the Trail Boss in 29x2.4 folding. Though I've got a pair of Nobby Nics which seem to cover me for bigger knobs, so I should probably refrain even though a theoretically larger carcass appeals.
The Mavics are of potential interest… folding bead makes storage much easier than wired.
Cheers
Thanks for the Mavic at CRC tip off umop3pisdn, bob on for my singlespeeder those.
Are the Mavic Crossride Quest any good?
