Just had a look at the advert in more detail and it mentions new tyres fitted very recently. You can see the brand in the photos.... never heard of them.
Call me an old fuddy-duddy but tyres (and brakes) I NEVER compromise on. Those would come straight off if I bought it (which obviously I won't) and have some "proper" ones fitted.

Marty has Michelins on, GLWS.
