The Mercedes garage down my way said good things about these tyres but never had any personal experience

They're reasonably good for a cheaper tyre. I would recommend them for the price.

The thing is i run michelin ps3's now and although budgets are cheaper to buy they never last as long and the grip is not as good. Its a false economy buying cheaper tyres really.  :happy2:

If you must run budgets, look at:

Maxxis MA-Z1
Kumho KU31
Nexen N6000

I have used all the above on performance cars, ED30, R26 Renaultsport etc
Camskill carry them.

Also, Avon ZZ5 are a damn good tyre for just that bit more

Part worn are more often been in a crash on fleabay unless you buy from a Private seller.

When you factor the cost of fuel into how long tyres last (10-15k+) they are cheap.  We've all heard it a thousand times but don't scrimp on brakes and tyres. :happy2:

Think thats bit of a stupid answer and also dangerous as you dont know what kind of life the second hand tyres have had!
I'd rather have brand new budgets than some second hand top brand for sure

Thats my thinking as well, was actually watching some pirelli p zero's and they went for £373 not including fitting !
People seem to be paying outrageous prices for branded tyres at the moment

I think this should be rephrased a little. Crappy no name cheap Tyres should be avoided yes. Budgets, can also mean 'middle of the road' ie good tyres, at a reasonable price. There's nothing wrong with Avons, Maxxis etc. I know, I've used them. Some linglong tingtong whatever at 50 quid a corner should be avoided like the plague

Agree with that, i know they'll be a compromise on life and performance, but that's why they're cheaper !
