Hey there Halljow,
Don't know your situation where you live, but you might try to find a tire shop that has a link to a used tire shop. There is one where I live, but it was hard to find, and not very well advertised.
Some people, when they blow one tire, but buy a full set. Great for vanity, but a killer on their checkbook.
When the people get new tires, sometimes the old tires are still decent, and get sent to the warehouse. The warehouse sells them (mounted and balanced, plus installed) for a very low price.
The down side is that it is rare to find all 4 tires as one kind/brand. The size may be the same, and even similar wear, but you may end up with four different tires. Once I found this place, I have not shopped anywhere else. I simply have them put the black wall out, and I have four tires with 75% wear left at 25%-50% of the original cost. Sometimes you can find sets of two, which can be matched front and rear.
You might try this method if you are looking to get tires on the car, but do not care if they all are the same brand.
