Especially when they probably haven't the faintest idea that "General UHP and Toyo AT" are "quality" tyres, because, like me, they've never heard of them either!

Why should they pay more? Quite simply, because those "safe handling limits" are ridiculously, dangerously low on many cheap tyres. Not only is there no margin for error or for dealing with an emergency, but cheap tyres are usually considerably harsher riding, louder, and cause the car to use more fuel. They're also frequently no cheaper in cost per mile.
