If money is tight then £20 for a pair of these will probably still be a big upgrade from what he has right now:

If he can stretch to £36 then these would definitely be an improvement:

The much higher TPI count with the Rubinos (150tpi instead of 26tpi for the Zaffiro) will definitely make them more comfortable but just the extra volume of the Zaffiros over the current tyres will really help.
