Need new tires (recommendations/advice)

ok so i put on some used rims with used tires and found out my front 2 tires have leaks. The have about 85% life left.

Details: current tires on are Nankang NSII (cheap i know )

they are low pros if that is the correct term.

i believe they are summer tires (correct?)

my rims are 18x8+50

i plan on putting all season tires on.

what tires would anyone here recommend to fit onto these rims? should i just change out two and leave the rears alone? i have never heard of 2 front allseasons and 2 rear summers (probably for good/safety reasons).

Or should i get a different brand of summer tires (if the current ones i have are summers) for the front?

FYI: im a typical poor college student so im looking for the best bang for my buck. im not into racing so im looking for a good, safe and reliable tire.

I recommend you change all four tires. I'm not a big fan of having different sets of tires on one car.

As far as all-season tires, either the Continental DWS or Pirelli PZero Nero A/S (I have these on my car now). Both tires are great all-season tires.

I agree.

But, OP, if your front tires are able to be repaired I would look into that. I don't see the point in buying new tires if you can get your current ones repaired and they have a lot of tread left.

If you do decide to get new tires I HIGHLY recommend the Continental DWS's. I'm running a 245/45R17 set and they are phenomenal.
