This is why I can't do all the mods I have planned, I had to replace all the tires and brakepads in a short period. For brakepads I searched the forums and unless you have big power or drive really hard the stock pads do a fine job. You can can pick up the stock pads, I think it is mintech at any auto parts store. I think it cost around $100 for both front and rear pads. For tires, if you have the money, go to the tire rack, and research what tires work best for you. I got kumo ectsa all seasons, for $95 each in 17 inch size. I also know your area and there are many used tire stores, so you might want to see what they have. good luck!

easiest way to get out of this
listen to 2002ggpis3 about the brakes
find someone local and swap rims for the inspection [assuming their tires are good]
