can get budget tyres (falken, marshall, nankang, yokohama etc..) for about £35 each fitted if you shop around.
remoulds arent a good idea, neither are budget tyres but better than remoulds.

LOL @ COLIN
YEAH I FOUND SOME GOOD ONES ON MYTYRES.CO.UK FOR £30.40
THERE NANKANG NS-2 TYRES
ARE THEY ANY GOOD??
IT ALSO SAYS THIS..........
Two center cirumferential grooves design can efficiently direct water away and anhance superior wet handling. Computer-designed V-shaped drainage sub-grooves increase resistance to hydroplaning in high speed ruinning and deep water. Two-in-One pitches and variable-width tread design help to reduce pattern noise and promote a quieter comfort ride. Shoulder edge sipes design promotes even a long treadwear.

sometimes budget companies are a different branch of a far superior brand e.g. goodyear, michelin etc, this way they create more money catering for both types of market: pikey and rich.
i recommend uniroyal rainsports at around £39 per tyre.
