I got a flat tire today and need a new tire, I'd replace all four cause they do need it but I don't have the money so I'll do that in about a month when I do. I have the stock 16 inch rims, and the old tire said p205/55r16, and had 89H after it, I have no clue what those numbers mean.

So what would you guys suggest is a good set of affordable tires I could buy that would be good for all seasons. I read something about Yokohama es100's being good, but I need more suggestions. I'm heading out tomorrow to replace my one tire, but when I have the money I want to get the other three replaced also. Thanks for any help
 
try discounttire.com they have good deals all the time. ive ran falken ze 512s and they were great for snow rain ice ect great tires. to awnser your number ? the 205 is how wide the tire is in cms and the 55 after it is the hight and its messured by the %

the % of the width so it would be 55% of 205 is what you hight would be. hope that helps you.

Yeah that does help, thank you. I would buy online, but I need the tire soon. And wouldn't it be cheaper to go somewhere since I wouldn't have to pay shipping?

When I get my new tire would it be best to get the same size I had or is there a recommended size?
 
shipping is most of the time free from tirerack. I see what you are saying dont go to walmart to get your tires! If you are stock stay with the tire size you have.

I ended up not going out to buy a tire. I'm just going to find a place online with free shipping.
