Cheap... but decent tires..

Ok, so I need new tires. I really don't want to spend too much in tires, seeing that I'm gonna buy new wheels this summer. It just happens that I need tires now, but don't have the money for the wheels yet.
So I just need something to roll on till then. I don't track the car, and I live in South Texas, so I don't have to worry about snow. It'll get down to about the 30's every once in a while, and once in a blue moon it'll freeze, but other than that, it's usually hot.

Any suggestions as to what I should get?

I see tires ranging from $90-$200. I'm perfectly fine buying the $90 ones, unless someone tells me they'll rip in half 10 miles down the road. Keep in mind that I only need these till the summer/fall.

You know, I was on tirerack.com, but all the descriptions are pretty much the same.
