My tires are rapidly wearking down to a dangerous level >.<

I really dont have the funds right now for some super expensive tires either.

What are some cheap, but well performing tires? Links would be appreciated also.

I plan on keeping the stock rims too. What are the dimentions I need, what would look best also?

Thanks

Kumho Ecsta 711's wear down much faster than Ecsta 712's ... I've got 712's on the rear and 711's on the front.

the 712's were on the front, then I got the 711's, put them on the front, and moved the 712's to the rear. I still have the same 712's(older pair) on the rear and the 711's(newer pair) on the front and the front 711's are already needing to be replaced.

www.tirerack.com does have pretty good prices

Try Hankook Ventus HR II's

pretty cheap, good grip. don't use them in the snow though.

my stock tire size is 195/55/15. but then again, Canadian turbulence gets a different rims than US spec. so you better double check.

StockSize : 195/55r15

Kumho Ecsta Supra 712: $61.00 each
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...re1=yes&place=1

17inch: 205/40r17

My Personal Preference and Tires I have: (if you want an affordable, SUPER STICKY tire.)
Kumho Ecsta MX: $100.00 each
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...e1=yes&place=19

They have a treadware of only 220, so they don't last for a very long time, but the performance is unbelievable.
