Tyres: new budget or second hand branded?

[TzTz]

Hi,

Budget is tight, but I'm looking to renew the tyres in our K12 (2003, alloy).
What do owners around here recommend, new economy tyres or second hand but brand ones?

And while at it, any general advice, gotchas etc regarding k12 tyres/wheels?

Could find some decent 2nd hand allyos with gd road worthy tyres fitted. I paid 200 all round for 4 infintiy brand tyres new from asda online tyre store,they are a mid range brand and seem great,hold the road and grip well enough.

Cheers for the info, will keep it in mind.
I ended up buying some budget tyres (new) from the local garage for £48 a piece; can't remember the name right now, not a famous brand but they do a good job as far as we could tell.
