Tire question
So, my Mom needs new tires for her 01 Me*so*B!thcy Galant. She still has her $130 apiece snow tires on and I keep telling her to get them off before she ruins them.
What can she get that would be a cheap, decent summer tire.
I know she probably won't order online cause that is just how she is, but a link would be cool anyways so I can show her pics and what not, then I can call around for prices here in town.
Thanks in advance.
Oh yeah, ..I almost forgot...
tire size is 205/55/16.

Nope, no Discount tire. I was kinda hoping to get some advice as to a specific tire, say "Good Year... Integrity " for example. Then I can call around for a good price.
Any suggestions?
Remember, I am going for price, not performance. I doubt my mom ever goes over 70
(although I know for a fact the car is more than capable of going a lot faster than that )
And, since she has good winter tires they don't need to be all season or anything special. Just something with a decent ride that should last a few years.

You could still look at Tire Rack or Discount Tire'* pages just to get an idea on price/brand. I believe (without looking them up) that they both have customer rating pages.

For a good tire that i personally love....
Go to your local firestone store and ask for a LeMans Champion HR. great grip in all weather, real good snow traction too this winter with no ABS too.
better hurry tho the tires been discontinued so supply is limited to on hand stock...
