Hello and Tires

Hey everbody, I just drove over from NY, relocating to the area for work. My winter tires are dying on me now, anyone got any reccommendaions for cheap beater tires?
I am on my winter wheels, but don't reckon I will need winter tires around here, so I am looking for something cheap to abuse, grip is everything, until my BBS' arrive with the rest of my stuff.

I am in Folsom now, and hope to get out to a meeting soon, where does everyone meet around here?

TIA for any words of advice.

Redline Tire Company

They're a small family owned company that does great work.
Plus, if you come by my shop for your free "welcome to the area" oil change, I'll give you a $25 coupon to use at Redline.

nexxus n3000's from wheel dude work well i have over 10k miles on mine and they are not wearing at all. I have heard alot of good things about them as far as being cheap with good grip/wear char. Keep in mind im not saying they are great tires but they are awesome for the price.

Thanks all for the feedback.
Paul, I will be up to see you sometime. I am not needing an oil change because of course it is 3000 miles from NY so I did one before I left and had to do one once I got here, 3 days later
But I am struggling with a P0457 evap system code. I will also check out redline tires.
irrational x, shayhan27, thanks for the recommendations, I will look out for those.
Javirex23, about 28 hours driving, left Tuesday lunchtime, arrived Friday lunchtime. From Upstate NY, Ithaca.
Boxerfxt, I am near the Mercy Hospital, hope to see you this Thursday.
John
