cheap/performance...

Don't you mean where to buy a dictionary in order to look up the meaning of "oxymoron"?

If you want cheap, you want second hand, and bear in mind that most second hand tyres aren't going to grip for shit unless they're recently new and have done minimal kms...

That's a pretty good deal. I got four tyres off Trademe a while back, but you need to think about the cost of fitting and balancing as well if you buy from there.
I can get them fitted for free at work :D

Ring Fastlane in Wellington ... I'm picking up (fitted) 205/50/16s for less than that ... yes, Jono does hell good deals for car club members 8) 8) Apparently he does 17's for the same price also (dunno if that's 215s as I didn't ask).
