I would say get the cheapest sports touring tyres you can. Which I reckon are Conti Road Attack. I've never heard of a tyre that's marketed as only touring.
The alternative is to get second hand tyres. I'm assuming you're asking for cheapness ANd not because you've got a 15,000 mile tour you're goin on & don't want to stop for tyres? :???:

Yeah, I suppose a Macadam 100 would outlast a sportier sport-touring tyre, but not by an awful lot, and the performance gap is mahoosive (because they're made of wood) I'd just use the sport touring tyre of your choice, they all offer good mileage.
