Looking for decent tires

Hey everyone. After the winter, I plan on selling my aftermarket wheels and buying another style. I still have OEMs which I can put on as a buffer between sets. My OEM rears are basically completely worn down Michelin PSS but I'm not looking to spend a lot on new rears and was wondering if there are any tire brands out there that are still decent enough to use for a couple of weeks but won't break bank. Or should I just look for OEM size used PSS?

Looking for some input, thanks

If you buy crappy tires the money goes down the drain. Nobody wants to buy a set of nice Bimmer wheels with Kumhos on them.

Put a pair of MPS4S and that will help your wheel sell, plus keep some value.

I would buy a pair of the same tires that are on the front wheels. So the set is complete again... Do not mix different tires...

I should have phrased it better, I'm not looking to sell my current set of aftermarket wheels with tires on them but separately.

I'm just looking for opinions on new/used 275/35/19 for my OEM's, which I will be using for a couple of weeks only after selling my current set of Signature wheels and looking for new aftermarket wheels.

Take the MPS4S in 275/35/19 as rears for your OEM wheels. When you get your new set move the 275s up front and get new 285/35, 295/35 or 305/30/19 rears. That gets you by for now, and gets you back to a matched set soon. Your tires will probably wear evenly too.

I ran Conti 5P in 275/35/19 up front on my BBS 9.5ET25 and they fit on stock suspension. The MPS4S is same size as the Conti 5P. On HAS you would need a 265 and 3mm spacers.
