HElp needed on car for sale!!!

2010 Justa Clubman is for sale and just blew out a run-flat today, three nails in the edge!!! Grrrrrr. Another tire is plugged so just thinking of buying 4 new cheaper than 2 run-flats and figured a good selling point. They are 195-55-16s. Don't want to break the bank since selling and don't want to put on crap. Any suggestions? Local tire store had Falken's at 114 and up depending on brand.

Arghhhhhhh!


Nevermind....found what I needed, dug a little deeper. Thanks!

Check on Ebay for a good matching used tire. Shouldn't be more than $50-$75. I'd rather have good used name brand (Goodyear, Michelin, Continental, Dunlop, etc.) tires on the car than cheaper new off brands. Buyers will think if you went cheap on the tires, did you also cheap out on the maintainance.

Thanks, read quite a few good reviews here and online on the Falken's.

Look at the TireRack. www.tirerack.com
I've got 205/50/16's Yokohama s-drives for $94 a piece, I'm sure they have 195/55/16's way cheaper and the shipping isn't that much.
