Continental DoubleFighter IIIs might fit the bill. I was looking for a tire under $40 a few years ago and got a pair for $60. Riv is out of Continental Race King Sports but those are lighter than the DoubleFighters and have a knobbier tread.
Echoing others I also like the ThunderBurts and Big Bens. On my mostly asphalt commuter I use a TB up front and a Big Ben in the back.
