I don’t like used tyres, and the positive reviews online and from Robert persuaded me to give them a go.
It's been a long time since I last bought cheap new set ( ~16 years), I am sure most of them have improved a lot in that time. I don't have problem buying used sets. It's not like when I buy second hand car and replace all the tyres on it straight away just because somebody used them before.

A6 currently have Michelin PA4 that I bought autumn 2017 unused old stock £200 for 4, did about 4k miles last winter and about 11k this winter, still 5-5.5mm with hard driving. Will change to summers soon and do another winter on these and still will be able to sell them on ebay with 2-3mm. But have to say I did like old PA3 better.
