Alternative to Conti GP4000S?

[guttertrash]

In need of a new tyre to replace a worn Conti GP4000S, but these seem to be getting more and more expensive at >£30 per tyre.

Anyone know of a comparable tyre that has good puncture protection/grip levels that are a bit cheaper, ideally at 25mm?

CRC have gator skin wired in for £22. If you don't mind the weight of non-folding you won't go far wrong.

+1 on the gatorskins, albeit not that much cheaper.

I belive the ultra sports were fitted to the carrera vanquish and - or virtuoso. Reports suggested they were decent... until it rained, then lots of "moment" followed.

I agree the prices of tyres has gone up unless I am imagining it. I was also considering the Ultra sports, anyone share their opinion of them I would be interested also?
