I live in Denver and could use new tires, at least on the back. Anyone have any recommendations for inexpensive tires I should get? All- Season maybe?

Note, they are only available in 19" and the narrower style used on the base i3 (not the staggered set - the same as the front). Every car and tire company recommends putting them on all four wheels. Think of it, the front's steer and get most of the stopping power (well, maybe not if you only use regen, but in an emergency, the fronts are very important), while the rears definately help getting the car started when it's slippery. They aren't super expensive, but aren't super cheap, either, since you may need to buy new wheels to support them.
