Are you looking for new or used? Where in CA are you located? I saw tires ad today in OC listed for:

225/40/18 Bridgestone Turanza ER33 Tires (Used) 70% Tread - $100 for the pair. That's $50 each--stock tire.

You're gonna have to replace a pair and not just one. Wouldn't recommend replacing just one tire.

Unless $ is really tight I'd just put better tires on the car rather than dropping $ on a replacement crappy tire.

And while you're at it- fix your alignment so you don't get that kinda inner edge wear again on the new ones.

I would highly recommend you get your car properly aligned with the excessive innerwear when you get some new tires on.

there's better tires around for far less than the turanzas.

The Hankook V12s for example.

Potenzas are better than the turanzas. I put a set of RE760s (summer) and they perform better than the ER33 (all season) even in rain. Not to mention they were cheaper. Whatever you choose, there are better options than the stock turanzas
