Default Inexpensive Tires?

Hey guys...I'm about to buy 4 18X9 Black FR500's with a chrome lip and I need to know where I can get some inexpensive tires. This is the last thing I'm allowed to buy for my car before my wedding lol. (Finaces' rules)

Not sure how you define "inexpensive", but Tirerack has a good deal on the Goodyear Supercar F1's... 255/45/18 - $131 & 285/40/18 - $163. And that is before a Goodyear $50 mail-in rebate.

I recently bought a set and they are definitely a nice tire for the money!

Sumitomo HTRZ II's are 100 a tire for 275/40/18

I have these for the rear. Lasted me about 20k+ miles so far with decent amount of tire spinning.

I got mine at americas tire, they price matched tire racks price.

Both are good suggestions. Although the 285/40/18 is not recommended for the 9" wheel.

I'm running the Sumitomo HTR ZII's in 275/40-18 up front and they have worked just fine for me. They're about the chepeast tires you can find that won't fall apart on you lol.
