The best treatment for saddle sores I've found is Assos Skin Repair Gel, and I've tried pretty much everything there is. Amazon has it. It's a post-ride thing. For pre-ride, the best thing I've found is QM4 Antifriction Chamois Cream, not on Amazon. Again, I've tried a lot of them.
Also, I've never had a good fit with padded tights, including the expensive ones, though I've not tried Assos. I get much better results from wearing my usual shorts with tights over. Never had a problem with that. Besides that gives extra protection in the crotch area. The padded tights I've had don't have the usual 8-panel construction of good shorts.
