Need new tires... question. Help!!

So I need new tires on my car soon... well like NOW, since they're absolutely bald. I'm wondering what you guys recommend? I know the Michelins are kinda crappy, so whats good but yet cheap. I cannot believe the Michelins are like $197 each at costco!!! I was like.. oh helll no!! OH another thing is that my car is a lease, which i plan on returning when the lease is up, and I only need 2 tires (front). Does anyone know if I have to have all 4 matching tires when i return the car? Or can 2 of them be different?

I'm going to the store tomorrow so any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Or you could spend a little more and go with the Pirelli PZero Nero M&S. It blows away the competition and placed 1st in the category where the Sumis were 5th.

Bridgestone Turanza LS-H or V; all seasons. I am very happy with them. Much improved over stock.

Replaced my Michelins with Yokohama Avids that I got at America's Tire Co for under $100 each. MUCH less road noise than the Michelins and good grip, too.
