Default tires...???

Ok i'm a 16 year old and i am on a pretty tight budget for some tires on the rims this summer. I am looking for something a little less costly but will also give me a decent performance. Someone in a chat said handcook or handcock tires are pretty decent. I also want something low profile to make the rim stick out a little bit more. Any ideas. I'm trying hard to stay under about $75 a tire....

I'm not exactly positive what size i need...the rims are 16" and they are going onto a 94 ex...all those numbers for tires run around in my head with no meaning to me really...maybe one day i will figure it out

NTM usually when you pay more the tire usually lasts longer. But that has been my opinion. Right now I have had my yoko yk420s on for about 6 months and hardly any tire wear, now keep in mind that these are all season tires but I only paid 300 for everything installed mounted balanced plus certs from discount tire (plus i know the guy). Is your car lowered? A good all around size for a lowered car on 16's in an accord is 205-215/45-50/16
