I expected the black jacks to be shit and to replace them with bmx turescreally quickly but so far they’ve been great. I’ve definitely crunched through some glass on the way to work and they survived.
No idea what sort of price they are but can’t imagine they’re too expensive?
Btw, if I went to bmx tyres I’d go with a slicker streetvtyre, I believe knobbly bmx tyres don’t tend to be very puncture resistant.

I'm not really sure I can follow - I thought that knobbly 20'' tyres basically are BMX tyres?
Prices tend to be all over the place but Kenda's are €10,- those Schwalbe Black Jacks are about €17,- (and they are only available in 20'' / 1.90'' - I can use those instead of 20'' / 1.75'', right, as it's both ETRTO 47–406 ??) ..and the Conti's I mentioned are about €12,-
I am actually quite unsure what to get; this is going to be my winter biek, so will be ridden in snow and muddy paths, but in fact the majority will still be asphalt; I live in Berlin after all, not out in the boonies.. just seeing your pictures made me realised how fucking cool knobbly tyres are (my first bike was a BMX : )

Do you by chance have recommendations for knobbly tyres?
Looking at those Schwalbe Black Jacks you have in those pictures,
alternatively Conti Explorers, or (cheap and cheerful) Kenda BMK K-50..
