Has anyone had any experience with any good cheap tires? Looking for something that can be used with stan's tubeless. In a 2.5 - 2.3 Size range. This should also be a good intermediate tire

I'd give a try to the Geax Neuron.
I tried to order a pair all summer but they were out of order...

Duro. They have a nice little "shelf" that locks onto the top of the rim wall. I wish more tire makers used this.
Dirt cheap too.

Duro has a lot of new stuff coming out in 2010. It will be good. Not so sure about the chaep though. Their 47a compound is amazing.
Duros will run about $50.
if cheap is what you are looking for then check out the deals on intense tires at jenson usa...

i picked these up for my slalom/ aggressive trail bike for a local dh race and was very pleased with the tires, especially for less than 20 bucks. might have trouble running tubeless though.

Got to say no to these ones. I got 'em thinking that I'd save myself some $, but I REALLY dislike the way they feel. It seems like they just never hook up right. In order to get them to feel halfway decent I have to run them rock hard, so they get sketchy on skinnies and roots. They might be OK for New England single track, but they SUCK for the Shore.
I have had really good luck with Bontrager Big Earls, but I don't know how cheap they are anymore.
boring but dirt cheap and damn they're so good: 2.5 nevegals on sale at pricepoint right now.
those intense tires stink in the east coast to. They slide around way to much
the pricepoint nev's are folding nice and light but not up to dhing because they lack the double ply thick casing meaning mucho flat. Jenson's has the dh casing one for almost the same price

2.6" duro Razorbacks are exactly what you are looking for, it seems to me. Say no to Kenda.
Just got some Geax Neurons in. After waiting for ONE YEAR, the distributor finally came through with them. Cheap (retail @$40), tubeless ready. They look kinda like a cross between a Minion and an Ardent. Haven't tried em yet, we'll see how they work.
