Apart from the usual suspects (inc tough as old boots, but pleasant as old boots specialised ES)
I've found a new one. Decathalon (well at least the one in orleans), do a tyre that looks like a
copy of the schwalbe marathon, for less than 8 quid. Plenty of rubber, nice central line, but rather
wide (1.75).
