    ^What Dave said

    Scrapyards often have piles of wheels where you can rake through to find a tyre the right size on a wheel the right PCD, for about £5-£10 per wheel.

    Some garages/small tyre shops sell part worn tyres to be fitted to your existing wheels, they usually have better tyres than the scrappies but charge more, because you have the fitting too

    Theres several places here that deal solely in part worn tyres, not scrap yards, they specifically source part worn tyres that have life left in them and arent damaged (they may of had a puncture repair, but heh, thats ok!).

    I replaced all 4 tyres on my gfs seciento for £80, all with 5mm tread+, and all are goodyear. Cant complain at that.
