Personally I think you should by the best you can possibly afford, not the cheapest you can get. Those 4 rubber rings are a vital safety component on any car, get crap ones and you could endanger your life and others
i do agree but you can get ripped off!
i used to have a tt it came with pirelli tyres which discounted were about £140 a tyre,i got some kuhmo tyres to replace them with which cost £80 a tyre, in 2 or 3 tests the kuhmo tyres out gripped the pirellis and they lasted longer so there you have it do you want to look good having pirellis on your wheels or have something that is cheaper/better ?
which is why i asked the question as you live and learn.

Gents
Be ware the Kuhmo tyers do not come in the right load rating as a result you are putting yourselves at risk.

Depending on size the load rating for D3 is from 111, but some have 112.
