Hey my ride is in need of some tires soon, So I need some suggestions on what to put on.

Ok steelly's are stock 185/65R-14

I'm in MN yes so all seasons would be better, also I not looking for a high speed rating
Just something all around nice tread. Ball park $50 or max $75 a tire.

If you are going to stick with the 14" stockers, find some 195/65/14's. You'll pick up some tire patch width and fill the wheel wells a tad more.

Here's a good tire which could potentially outlast the car: http://www.onlinetires.com/products/veh ... 1+88t.html

I have purchased tires from this place before without issue. Local tire shops will charge you as much as the shipped price + the MN tax. Mounting is pretty much the same anywhere on average $15 per tire for this size.

These tires also get excellent reviews. Quiet, comfortable ride, capable handling, and excellent all season performance. Toss in the
unprecedented 85,000-mile limited treadwear warranty, which includes road hazard service for the first 25% of wear and 24-hour roadside assistance, which remains in effect for two years from the date of purchase.
and it's hard to beat.

I really like my Conti' ProContact 2's in the winter. And they seem pretty decent in the dry for daily driving.
