umm...this is kind of a silly question.

if you have the money, get good tyres. if you dont, then dont.

If youve got the cash and are impatient, then go ahead.
Personally id get my dollars worth out of the tyres youve got now even if they are shitters.

If they're livable then okay but if they're dangerous like you can't brake properly, aquaplaning on a slightly wet road then don't wait and get better tires, its the only thing connecting your car to the road, not something to skimp (sp?) on.
