No good for skidding, but I recently got a pair of michelin speedium 2s for my hack bike for £5.98 each from CRC (RRP £16 each), and they've been great for the price. I've ridden through 4 or 5 big unavoidable patches of broken glass on them (yay London), and not a hint of them puncturing or cutting up so far. For cheap tyres they roll ok, and are plenty grippy too. They're obviously no where near as nice as my beloved pro race 3s, but for £12/pair commuting tyres they're doing the trick.
