And im going to waste nearly £5/600 on tyres when there is like 8mm tread on budget tyres on a 4wd car and perfectly legal...... hmmm treat my son to a nice xmas, pay my bills, and have a good time or waste money to replace tyres that have at the mo a lot of life in them...... Aye right, i for one dont drive like a muppet to require decent brand tyres at this time, it will however get decent brand ones once those are worn out for a nicer drive.
Money is not wasted on decent tyres they may save your life in an emergency. You dont have to drive like a muppet to find out the hard way what cheap tyres can do even with full tread. It maybe your sons safety you are putting on the line however carefull you think you drive its the other guy stopping in front on decent tyres in the wet that will find the flaw in your arguement.
