How is buying another set of wheels with secondhand tyres going to be cheaper than just buying new?
If you're not too bothered about brand, then new 235/45 17are easily available from £60ish per tyre.

Great tyres  :y

Got a full set on the 2.2 LPG, very quiet, good grip, no tramlining, wearing well.

Worth hunting for ones from here, I got 4 KU39's with 6mm tread, on unmarked CDX alloys for £100. £25 a corner, bargin!

will be needing x4 235/45/17 myself pretty soon, Was planning on getting the Runways on blackcircles but they don't seem to do them any more  :'( Might try local ATS or similar when the time comes.
