Like we said, tires are a big investment, so you want to get a good value on tires. Now that doesn't always mean the cheapest tire.

Last, with a 2-wheel drive vehicle, it's to always replace both tires on an axle. Modern sensors and computer safety systems for vehicle brakes, stability and traction control need both tires to have the same amount of wear to work properly.
