'New' tyres
It doesn't do many miles, mostly in the summer, so last time around I fitted a set of budget types all round, and they have been mostly fine. When pushed, it was fairly sure-footed, but when driving relaxed, I got the impression of it liking to wander a bit. I was thinking maybe tracking, but the wear was dead even.
On the last MOT, the inspector suggested they were getting a bit near, so in the months since then, I've been mulling over what to buy. I found a pair of used, 0.5mm of wear, Bridgestone T001's, on FB MP, for £45 each, fitted and balanced, so I had them fitted. They seem just as sure-footed as before, at speed, but in the relaxed driving, they are much less inclined to wander.

Also, check the manufacture date codes. Forget them if they are near or over 10 years.
