Default 295/35r18 99w Cheap Tire Purchase

previous owner put aftermarket rims and the back are slightly dished rims that are apparently *after looking online for tires* expensive in comparison to stock tire price.

lowest ones are potenzas which i've found around 220 for a single tire, and pilots can go as high as 478, my tires on there now are Bridgestone Potenzas and have about half tread left. but im planning to drive across country in the z within the next 6 or so months and think I should change the tires on the back *Selina (350z) has new front tires*

but im wondering if there is a way to get tires in the size of 295/35r18 99w for cheap?
i dont really like the current rims on the car which is why im not digging the expensive price tag on the tires. whats tire wear like on tires of that size if you drive conservative?

Change out to a 275/40-18 or swap over to a Civic , tire prices are much cheaper for an economy car

Tires are one of those things you shouldnt cheap out on. Your life and the lives of others ride on those tires. There is an onslaught of these cheap Korean tires on ebay and CL,dont use them. Spend a little more for a nice tire.

^^^Agreed. If you want to run the smaller tires then get a set of stock wheels and tires and put them on.

If your only priority is that your tires are cheap then just keep an eye on our wheel & tire private marketplace

Not the best idea to mix tire brands/models, especially on car like this. I would buy two that match the front or a full set of something else.
