I don't think you can even get a set of Nexen N3000's in a 225/45 18 for $400. That said, I've seen some of those "off" brands on craigslist calling for $90 a piece installed. NOw if this due to funds now, you gotta do what you gotta do. But in about 20K miles, you'll be looking again. Possible to just replace 2 for now? Or are all 4 that bad?

On the replace 2 now front, I am holding that out as a last ditch nothing else is working thing. Right now I'm at .06 and .07 inches on my right side and .09 on both my lefts. (that's about 2/32 on the rights and 3/32 on the lefts)
Fuzion doesn't make a 225/45
I'm basically just trying to buy a year at this point, which is 20k-30k, and the only reason I'm even considering anything but nice new name brand tires. I'm still holding out hope for a decent set of used name brands, but failing that I'm trying to prepare backup options like the set of Sunnys. At $450 if they can get me around a year of decent tread, I'd be happy with that.

Problem solved. I have been watching ebay, which generally doesn't have much for good tire deals, but, like craigslist, you never know.
Got a set of 4 Falken ZIEX 235/40/18 ZE912 tires for $375 shipped with 9/32 tread left direct from Discount Tire. Still need to have them mounted, and I end up going just a bit over budget including that, but at least I have what should be decent tires on the way.

Put some of these on it I noticed it's an SS, you wont believe how sweet they ride, made every little rattle disappear. Go to discount tire they will match the Tirerack price, put your 400.00 down and get a small payment, You will fall in love with your SS all over again. I have 15000 on them now and they have lost 2/32nds. I am not a very nice to my tires. 255x40 and 225x45
Glad to hear you found a solution havoc3d!
