I don't uderstand how people get side tracked so easily and confuse their own goals with mine. I use this car to drive to school and back for now and that's it. I just want to pass inspection and be able to drive the car for another two years and then it's performance time and I'll put good tires on it.
Someone shows you two $89 tires and that is too much?

you wont find anything cheaper than the kumhos i posted really....81 a tire isnt cheap enough for you?!? the 235 series is higher actually and i wouldnt run anything less than 235 anyway because they wouldnt be made for that rim

I agree completely with jmac, that is the only part of your car contacting the ground...just because you dont want performance doesnt mean you should go cheap. I'm not trying to upset you by this but paying a little more now for decent tires is better than paying a lot later to fix a wrecked car, or even just dealing with more tire noise etc.
I always buy from discount tire direct, always seem to be the cheapest tires online. There may also be local shops that sell used wheels and tires. Might be something to look into. Good luck.
