I feel almost embarrassed to ask, but here we go...!

I've recently bought a 2017 Skoda Fabia, which has comfort-spec 185/60/15 tyres. Those fitted are 2 new Landsail LS388 up front and 1 each of an OEM Nexen and (a presumably puncture replacement) Autogrip at the rear,

All four are legal and have plenty of tread, but the mix of tread and them all being economy tyres makes my teeth itch. I had budgeted to replace them immediately.

However, I am aware that this is mainly a town car doing perhaps 2k miles p/a of local driving and rocks all of 110hp. Am I being wasteful if I replace the tyres and should I just get some use from them instead?

These are under £70/corner fitted through Asda tyres.



At that price I would do all 4 for peace of mind.
Thanks to everyone - these are incidentally the exact tyres I've ordered for fitting.
