New tire feedback?

Okay so today I notice a bubble in my front tire... and about 2-3/32" left on all four tires..

But unfortunately im VERY strapped for money for a bit.

So I was wondering if anyone recommended any of these..

My 8 currently has Khumo tires all around with 225/45zr18 91y
I know absolutely nothing about buying tires..never had to do it before..
But I need something that is affordable >.<

check tirerack. you can choose your car, and will show you all the tires that fit, sorted by category. there are plenty that are cheaper than $140 / tire.

i just got Yokohama ADVAN AD07s (basically the stickiest tire you can buy short of race tires) from there for $99 a tire, but their mileage is probably not what you're looking for. good luck.

What kind of Kumhos do you have now? And don't just say "ecsta" since there are probably 30 different Kumho models with that word in the name.

Are you planning on driving on these tires at below 40F temps? The M+S (Mud and Snow) rating on both tires is probably crap. The Nankangs specifically look like they'd have zero grip with more than 1/32" of snow on the ground.

Get two if you can swing it to keep the handling balanced between left and right turns.

The Toyos are probably the higher quality tire.
