3 very valid point.If I drove 3k a year in mine I may view things differently ,however for the 20k a year I do the economics would equate.

Just buy part worn premium tyres as a set ,on the correct alloy rims
then,when they are bald,sell them as a set of alloys with bald tyres  ;D

It don't work with used shoes though  :P

I didn't say 5.5mm and £70 fitted. I said 6mm  for £50 (often less actually)and I get them fitted for a tenner  pair.
Even so, still halfworn at £60, or new £80-100.  To me, the financials don't work over new ones.


(And as said, that's not going into the discussion on potential issues with part worn, which may or may not be a factor for some)

Not as good as the Alpha IMHO, but probably more than sufficient for your needs 😉

(I found them lacking slightly for my requirements, but I’m much more sedate now anyway)

Surely a 1 ton & 3/4, 150mph car should be shod with decent premium brand tyres ......  :-\

Personally I think anything should, as even a Smart ForTwo will stop significantly quicker on premium tyres than on budgets in the wet.  But obviously its a personal choice.

I found the Alphas pretty crap TBH.  Can't remember who's car it was now though, as was a few years back.  So "Not as good as the already crap Alphas" doesn't sit well with me.
