Go to a dealership or tire store, ask them if they have used tires in your size. Usually if i offer some small money their more then happy to get rid of used tires, being that they pay to despose. In most cases the tires are still above or at the tread bar, they'll last long enough for a cheap or free tire. (helps to know someone)
happy sliding

hmm..you might want to switch out all your tires

just the back ones might cause a weird unbalance if and when you switch back to grippier tires.

haha but dont take it from me, I read that in option2 somewhere around my house. have fun!
