What are the cheap budget tyres like Are they any good for daily driving such as around town and motorway It will cost me about £100 for a set depending on what size rims i go for.

Gonna put my rear ones on my Mums C3 as they are better than her front ones and then keep them for spares.

£800 for a set of 16's or 15's or whatever your getting? My 18's didn't even cost that much Have you tried somewhere like Halfords that do offers on complete wheel and tyre sets?
