+1 for the above ,I personally would buy a decent set of part worn goodyears,pirelli's,dunlops,toyo's ,etc than buy budget tyres.
I paid £160 for 4 x continental super contact 2's which all had 7mm of tread , and give good grip in the dry & excellent grip in the wet,off an accident damaged car.
A fair few years ago i bought 2 budget tyres for a MG montego turbo I owned. 8 days later had a blowout on the M6,and I vowed then I would never buy budget tyres again.I even have dunlop sp sports on my 1400 cc honda civic,which is no performance car.
