I'll start by saying I know NOTHING about tires and only slightly more about cars (as in, I know I have to get my oil changed and fill it with gas, lol).
I have a slow leak in my front driver's side tire - I'm not getting new tires until the spring because in about a month I'll be having my winter tires put on. It doesn't make sense to buy new tires now (nor do I have the money) just to store them for 6 months. I'd rather pay the $1 every few weeks to fill my tires for the month. I've had the tires for three years now, they've been on my car for 2 years total (1 year all season, 2 years for 6 months after I got winter tires). They're at the point where they need replacing, even if the leak wasn't there.
If it matters at all, I have steel rims (or whatever they are if they aren't aluminum). I really don't know what kind of tires to get when the time comes to get them... any suggestions? They're on my car from about March/April to October/November. My car is a 2008 Aveo5 (hatchback) and I drive quite a bit (I'm at 757 000 k right now).
Any suggestions for a lower priced, good quality tire? Would it be better to get them now or wait until the spring? Are there tire sales?
