Do any of you guys know what brand of tires are inexpensive while still being pretty good? i need 245/45/17 and most of the used tires im finding are all bald

How much are you looking to spend and what kind of tires are you wanting? If you're looking for (summer) performance tires, I like Sumitomos. They perform pretty well when you take into consideration that they're pretty inexpensive. Tirerack.com has the Sumitomo HTR Z II tires in 245/45/17 for $87 each.

well i live in florida so i dont need anything other than summer tires as long as they are good in the rain. I dont want a really soft (sticky) tire only because its a dd and i drive the highway to work.

I DD my car as well but with the snow I can only run my HTR Z II's during the summer. But in that time they work great for daily driving. I've put around 3000 miles on the set I have and they're holding up great. I don't have any problems in the rain. Hell, they're a little better in the rain than the a/s tires I have on my Bullitt rims.

You could always go with a set of Nexen N3000s. They're a decent compromise of grippy, long lasting and cheap. Not to mention how ridiculously great they do in the rain.

N3000 - OnlineTires.com $81 per tire new.

well honestly i like tires that dont get super good traction in the rain. i have a v6 with a 7.5 non posi rear end. Id like to get sideways in the rain because its the only time i can have some fun. Anyways im looking for a good cheap tire, sounds like an oximoron but that what i want. I have pirellis on the front and ive put 40k on them. So they are pretty good. I got them with the rims for 400 which was like a steal. Now i have michelins pilots that i got used from a buddy. they are really sticky but wear really quick.
