Most towns have places that sell part-worns (like breakers yards) but you'd need a good look at them first. I've done it in the past when I was stuck for cash but do so with caution.

stay away from re-moulds,

any good garage should have decent part worn tyres, or check ebay for places in your area

Be careful that your tyres are in good condition before the Insurance company engineer sees the car, if they aren't they could use this as a reason to refuse the claim.

I didn't think you could get remoulds any more (good job too if it's true).
