Buckinghamshire has some of the worst roads in the country and I am after advice on the best reasonably priced tyre to withstand the ruts and rough roads that I am cycling at the moment. I am new to cycling (relatively speaking) and am after general comments please.

I wont ride anything other than conti grand prix 4 season, about £30 per tyre but i can honestly say ive never had a puncture, I commutre every day and ride at weekends through all weather and previous tyres puntured regularly. Cant recomend them highly enough.

Specialized Crossroads or Nimbus Armadilo. Again not cheap but worth every penny

I have good luck with Vittoria Rubino Pro 3. I have ridden over 6000 miles on my current set through mainly country roads which sometime have gravel on them. I just order another set 2 weeks ago through Ribble and am waiting for them in the mail.

Schwalbe marathon plus - I have them on two bikes and have covered around 8000 miles on each - they are still going strong! They last and last and therefore in my opinion are the cheapest in the long run. I have other bikes with other tyres (smarter, faster, lighter) but from time to time they puncture and wear out quickly.
