Default Cheap tires?

Hey I'm new to the site and was wondering if anyone knew of any good websites or stores to buy cheap tires.

I have a 2003 Monte Carlo LS with stock rims at the moment and would like to upgrade. I can get a really good deal on some 20's from a friend but I know wheels can be very expensive as well.
Sorry if this is the wrong section, and thanks in advance for any help!

When it comes to tires, you DO NOT want to go cheap. You'll regret it about 100 miles later. You should always do your math on what tires you're putting on your car>> dont cut corners. Think about it, you go cheap with tires, your riding your life on a "deal".

www.tirerack.com

www.treadepot.com

Those sites are good with information, reviews and prices, and if you can find a local place that will price match you can save on shipping

X2 on tirerack and treaddepot.com

If are looking for a cheap tire, but still pretty good quality for your factory rims, I would recommend the Fuzion HRI. www.tirerack.com sells them. They are a VERY affordable tire, made by Firestone-Bridgestone, i've run them on a Cavalier before, and had good results. Just don't expect to get 80K out of them. I got a healthy 40K out of the set I had.

I know of a certain site that sells cheap airbags and bumper supports too. They also have really cheap seatbelts.

thanks and by cheap I meant affordable for someone low on income not cheap in quality by any means. Just seeing if anyone knew of any websites where you can buy quality tires for cheaper than you can get them at stores.

Ahhh, I see. Your best bet for cheapER tires would be tirerack or discount tire. Discount tire ALWAYS has some incredible deals on some of the higher end brands. I got pirellis all around for 85 each after the mail in rebate. 85k mile rating.
