Dude that’s gotta be worth at lest 55 cents! Of coarse the tire plug kit will cost you 6, or 7 bucks..:

Or, $300 if it can’t be plugged. Though, it really should be $1200, because you want to keep all the corners the same age.

Easy there, i’m not running pilotsports or anything silly like that. Decent sport tyres would run be 60-70$ a corner, and these are all worn quite a bit down... would make sense, unless i decide to not keep these wheels anymore.

Market or upsized? These are just 205/45/16, but i know bigger tyres get more expensive, quite quickly here too...

No, standard. 245/45/20s, the trouble is there isn’t that many choices, and they’re all on the pricey side. I think Firestone has one for like $140 without a tread life warranty, which is like $175 installed, which isn’t that bad.

My other car is just 215/70/15, which is way cheaper, but whitewalls, and there’s only like one company that still makes them.

Well yeah 20" tires are gonna be more expensive. I’ve never spent over 80 bucks a tire, but my Fits 205/60/16s are the biggest tires ive ever had to buy. One of the reasons I love small cars

Or, at least cars with sensible sized wheels.

Well with newer cars almost anything over a compact is going to have a 17" wheel if you want alloys.

Of coarse that wasn’t the cars 5-10 years ago

Big ones start in 80$ for the cheap chinese things, known brand(Hankook Ventus S1 EVO’s) can be had for 192$. Bigger wheels, more costly sadly.
