I admit it. I'm a cheap MoFo when it comes to buying cross tires. What kinds of experience do you guys have with the under $30 tires? I've been getting the Kenda psychlo (or something like that) for $13 each from bikeman.com. But what else have others tried out that they were happy with?
I was never impressed with the Ritchey speedmax.

$12 a pair!?!?
I just ordered a set as my back up/training tire.
IRC mythos XC 700x40 tires.
