If there's one thing you *never* scrimp on, it's tires. Get rid of those
crappy ones and get some good ones. I recommend Michelin or Goodyear.

Which Michelin and Goodyear models in particular? Both companies make good
and bad tire models.

It always amazes me how many people spend extra money to get a good
car and then put on the crappiest rim protectors they can find when it
needs new rubber. The only thing holding the car on the road is the
grip of the tire on whatever random surface it may be in contact with.
This is not the place to compromise quality.

I put a set of Goodyear Assurance ComforTred tires on my wife's minivan (a
Dodge Grand Caravan), and they have been absolutely excellent. Very
highly rated in traction, comfort, and quiet. I've never put Michelins on
a minivan, but have had great satisfaction with their tires on passenger
cars. I think the "Energy" series may be what you want there. Both of
these manufacturers have excellent websites that help you pick the proper
tire for your vehicle. Go do some research.
