I have about 11 months left on my lease and I need to get some new tires before the winter (my tires are like bologna skins after about 24,000 miles

). Anyway, I don't want to pay a fortune for new tires since there's a good chance I may try turn in my H3 early to get into another GM vehicle. Considering that it's a leased car and how much time I have left on the lease, can you guys please recommend some decent tires that will get me through a winter in the Northeast without breaking the bank? I don't know what the deal is as far as returning a leased car with different tires (I've never had to replace tires on a leased car before), but I assume I have to return it with a decent set of tires on it.
I don't do any off-roading whatsoever (no comments please

) so that's not a factor in my decision. Thanks in advance.
