Not sure in the UK but in NZ you can get them 'shaved'. They stick the wheel and tyre on a lathe (big one which is purpose built for the job) and shave the tyre. You lose some tread but that's life. I used to get new tyres done. Sacrifice a couple thou from new but they lasted longer and felt better to drive.
