Default Cheap Tires - Old Ones Showing Cords

Hey, I need a set of cheap tires to get around in for a while until I can save up enough for some 18s. My old G-Forces are showing cords Would any of these tires do the trick? Just want to get through the raining season!

Mostly looking into the Nankang Noble Sport NS-20

Thanks!

P.S. Anyone know of a better deal?

225/45-17 is about the most common size in the world. Find some used take-offs here in the Classifieds or on Ebay.

And/or stop saving up for 18s and buy decent tires. If you're running your current tires to the cords and can't afford decent tires now, I'm not sure how you're going to afford 18s and the more expensive tires that you'll need then!

I'm doing an unpaid internship in la for 8 months, once I'm done I'll have a nice job waiting for me. Thats why I can't afford tires now, but after the internship. Just want something that will last

I like your idea of buying used though, im going to look. Thanks!

Probably want "w or y" rated not v rated . Going from g force BFGS to a v rated tire will be a decrease in performance. Would be a little more cushy in the sidewall though

Or the Fuzion UHPs for only $72 each at TR. I think I'd take Fuzions over Nankangs.
