Yokohama Avid Tourings, about $220 for a set, delivered, balanced and installed, a highly rated tire with 80,000 mile tread guarantee. At Discounttire.com. I like mine.

i have a few friends that own shops/work at shops and what not, they put the tires on for me and balance them.

but you can go to costco and get them mounted and ballanced for $25(+ or - a few) also any place that sells tires and has a shop in the back to put them on will do it, you just got to ask.

I went to a lot of shops around here and nobody would mount tires unless I bought them from them.

Demand them to, or ask them for a tire that fits. Stock is 185/70-13 and ask them to be cheap. theres the next size smaller that fits neons or some stupid care that they're 155/80-13 but they're really skinny. They would prolly run you $40 a piece if that, the price they give you usually includes mounting and balancing so remember that.

I would also recommend the Sumitomo 200's 206/60/13. They're $40 now on tirerack; I know because I just bought one after my accident. They last but the sidewalls are pretty soft. That's my only complaint still a good deal.
