Depends on the spec of the laptop...if its for sale at £100 then the tyres work out at £20 each.

Personaly id snatch his arm off.

bloody idiot, i asked him to bring the worst tyre down so  would know the others have more tread on, what does he do, bring an ileagly bald one.
the spec on the lappy is celron 700, 128 ram, dvd, 2 usb. worth £100.
he said he would look at the others for the quality of the tread, not expecting much better, so looks like he wont be getting a laptop lol

i would check he date code on the tyres
the rubber is only anygood for around 3 years
i personly would never touch part worn tyres (to risky)
those size tyres are cheap enough in a budget tyre which are if not better than a branded tyre
michelin are crap always have been and always will

Designed by the French for French cars - and thats what they run on best.  For any other car, i wouldn't bother - especially with this idiot!
