Youll probably find that the above bike uses 26 1 3/8" rims & tyres.
In which case you are in luck as that is the size they use in cycle speedway. Archie wilkinson (who have a wheel factory & sell affordable but top speedway parts) sell a range of those size wheels from £50-£70 a pair, fancy colours, sealed hubs, stainless spokes etc..
Normal town bike tyres are dirt cheap in the right places, high st shops tried to sell me a michelin world tour for £15! but they available on chain reaction for £5.99 posted!
