Cheap and good tires usually don't pair too well together. That being said, what is your definition of cheap? Please don't say, "lowest price possible" because that doesn't help frame the actual cost you are willing to pay.

Secondly, I would recommend you check out the sticky'd posts and search through this section. There are numerous reviews on tires for the TL's given tire size. The reviews are all subjective to a degree but there are many users that attempt to be objective in their review.

Lastly, the sites I would recommend are probably ebay, tirerack, and 1010tires. They will give you a good idea of what is out there. You could also consider take offs/used tires may be another option.

Remember you get what you pay for. Tire Rack is one of the cheapest out there. You go too cheap you start to go into tires that arent really designed for the Tl and the handling and ride will suffer.

buy used tires with more than 75% of tread life... and sometimes you can get brand name tires..... 2 tires under $80

Its kinda making me irritated about how people think they will find something cheap and high quality all in the same breath. Im 16 and ive realized they dont go together... Sure you might find that one exception for a good deal, but how likely is it in everything you buy will be cheap and high quality?!

as others have said, cheap and quality do not go together especially with tires

and another thing to think about is your life and everybody's around (including passengers) depends on those four little patches of rubber to stop and steer the car around; so tires are not the best of places to cheap out

ie: i rear ended somebody in my old accord, because the tires where too fucking hard, and did not grip well enough (i probably would have been real close but not hit them, if my car had had better/softer tires on there; they where something like 80k mile warranty tires; never again... (and they where more expensive then what you even want to spend on tires too )

normally used deals, but not on new items really though
