Hi all,
My car is due for WOF this month and it certainly needs new tyres.
Hoping to find a decent deal in Hamilton.
One FB marketplace option for cheap triangle brand is $480 for 4 tyres fitted and balanced.
Few famous shops like Tony’s tyres etc are minimum $800-$2000 based on quality.
It’s a 2009 Toyota so not really keen on spending too much.
Any recommendations are welcome.
TIA

Personally, I'd steer clear of Triangles (most of the cheaper Chinese tyres to be fair). They generally have below-average wet weather performance.
Have you considered a reputable second-hand tyre? Or fitting a pair of quality second-hand tyres to the rear and a pair of new tyres to the front if you're trying to keep costs down.
If you're buying new, the Yokohama Bluearth ES32 is one of the best value tyres on the market. Otherwise, Bridgestone Supercat Sports are also good value with decent performance. Worth checking what deals bridgestone have at present, sometimes it's buy 1 get 30down or buy 4 get 1 free.

I have found Zeta to be very good quality/performance for the price. Feels like the sweet spot right now.

I don't think you'll get much/any cheaper than $480 fitted and balanced for four new tyres. Looking on TM at used tyres you'd struggle to beat that.
