Default aaaahhhhh!!!! need tires!!!!! help!!!!!

ok ive worn THROUGH the rubber on my front tires down to the belting. oops. needless to say, im not really driving her right now. what tires should i get? i dont have tons of money, so i was thinking kumho ecsta MX. is there a better tire for the money? also, where can i get kumho tires? i dunno if i wanna do tirerack. if i do choose tirerack, how much would a shop charge to mount and balance if i brought the tires in? also, i have fuchs with 205 and 225 widths right now. whats the biggest size of tire i can put on these wheels?

I special ordered at Costco after checking Tirerack prices...picked up Michelin Pilots today...great price/installation equipment / people.

Your choice of tire depends on how many miles you drive per year and what kind of driving your doing. If you're driving 365 days/year you're going to be looking at a more all season high performance tire like the Kuhmo version or a Dunlop version - both worked for me.
