   I wouldnt if it was me. I am quite fussy with tyres and it really does make a difference.
   
   
   I would try and stretch to some toyos or simular. Will only be another £40 odd more

   Any tyres will surely last two months, as long as it isn't 2 months of continuous track days.. So surely for 2 months, they will be fine.

   Depends what you want them for mate. If you want them for track then no... If you want them for day to day use then yeah or look for cheaper half worn tyres on ebay...

    If you just need them to get you by for a couple of months then budgets will be fine

    I got the wrong end of the stick kind of then. If you are only going from a to b for a month or so they will be fine. Just dont go hooning around as the difference between good and cheap tyres is quite noticable

    its either them... or some that cost a little more or some part worn ones... but would rather have them as they will all be the same...

    Its always worth putting decent tyres on no matter how long you are riding on them for as you will be able to get a bit more of your money back if you then went on to sell the wheels
