How good are cheap tyres?
My car is eating through it's tyres at the moment and I have no idea why, everything up front is new and newly tracked but still no joy. Now I need new tyres so rather than buy expensive ones I thought I would go for the cheapest ever just while I diagnose what the uneven wear problem is.
So then I thought I wonder if the average driver would actually be able to tell the difference between cheap and expensive tyres? Can you actually compare different tyres on the road considering there are so many variables?
I wouldn't say I was the average driver (the V8 made me do it officer) but I still wonder how much difference it makes. Hence I am going to take the plunge and get the cheapest ones I can find and boy are they cheap! I found these:

Yes thats £229.40 (approx $362) for 4 brand new tyres delivered, balanced, valved and fitted!!
Am I crazy or just being sensible? I am about to find out, hopefully I won't be typing from the other side of a hedge next time!
