Default Lower cost tire options?

The Continental CrossContacts on my LR2 are getting pretty worn down and it's time to look for some new tires.

I'll probably be looking to trade for a new vehicle in a year or two so I don't really want to spend a ton of money on tires right now. Mostly we just drive in town with occasional highway trips and don't really need anything with crazy off-road capabilities. We're in Portland Oregon so snow isn't much a problem but it rains pretty regularly through most of the year and wet traction could be a concern.

Was hoping to find something on the cheaper end (sub $500 for 4 tires) and was looking at Milestar MS932's and Falken ZIEX ZE612's. Does anyone have any experience with those tires or have a different reco in that price range?


Thanks

I ran Falkens on my MGB they are pretty good tires. I haven't had any issues with them.

Check discount tire direct on eBay. They have a $100 off $400 coupon, ends 8/31. You can use it 3 times. I just ordered Nitto Terra Grapplers for my father in laws F-150. $434-$100 for 2. I placed two orders. $668 total for 4 275/60R20.

I recently got some Nito 850's ($730 installed in SOCAL).

Seem to work fine, the vendor said they might be a tiny bit louder on the highway but I can barely notice if I think about it.
