I've read a fair few of the tyre threads and lots of people seem to like the Conti 4 seasons.

But, as I'm new to all this, and my road bike was cheap, I'm looking to spend as little as possible to keep me going.

What would anyone recommend on a budget of, say, £20 per tyre? Is something like this:

OK.

Or do I just bite the bullet and pay the extra for the 4 seasons?

On my commuter, I'd go for puncture resistance over weight any (work) day of the week.

While I'm pretty sure that anything I buy would be better than the mismatched pair I have on currently (bike bought SH), I'd rather spend the money on something decent, than end up spending more by first buying the wrong tyres.

Great service from Merlin. They were on my desk by about 10 am yesterday.

Just need to fit them and my new cadence meter tonight ready for the weekend.

Probably wouldn't have chosen that colour way if all were available, but they'll match my bike which is mostly white with black accents.
