Yeah, scrapper near me take all tyres off the wheels. So instead of forking out £120 +fitting I can save half that and pay £60 for some decent tyres plus fitting or less :)

part worns, or budget tyres are fine if you dont drive like a knobber.
they wouldnt be legal if they were that bad. i think everyone just lives on the bandwagon.
when driving sensibly theyre more than fine.

Fork out the extra money if track driving yeah, but on normal roads in normal conditions the budgets are more than capable.
