What are some good, inexpensive tires I can get for my mom's 2007 Chrysler Town & Country?

My mom's old van needs new tires - would love a few options to look at. I know nothing about anything. Thank you in advance.

Call tire shops and ask for good used. Better get good used tires than cheap Chinese tires. There are test out there with video that show exactly this.

knowing nothing? basic beater? no snow? what kind really doesn't matter.

pretty much anything new is good. shit I've had cheapAF ebay tires that were sticky and lasted longer than they should have.

if you go used, check the date codes on the tires. an oval with WWYY, so 2222 is the 22nd week of 2022. will be near the rim on one side.

I once bought a minivan with a failing transmission on bookface marketplace for the tires. threw the wheels on my wifes daily then used it as a farm truck while breaking our property.

My fervent heartfelt advice on tyres is always : buy the best tyres you can possibly afford. They're the one thing between you and the road, and a failure can be a life changing event. Cheap out on everything else in your life before you cheap out on tyres.

Go to a reputable shop and buy a brand you recognize.

If you're really on a budget, find some used tires because good and cheap don't go together. Find a local independent (not a chain) tire shop or general mechanic and ask if they install used tires.

If you want recs for new tires, I would post this in /r/AskCarGuys too
