Panaracer Fire XC Pro 2.1 would be my recommendation, a good all-rounder in all seasons and easily available in both folding (recommended) and wire bead. I've used them on both old-school narrow rims and more modern width ones without issue. Shop around and you can find folders for as low as £22...
