They're no-name junk all-seasons. Take them off and put some real tires on.

Holy crappy korean tires batman. They look like "high performance" all seasons, but definitely are no name brand. Ironman Imoves? Awesome, you have Tony Stark tires. Win.

use them for the summer, when winter comes pick up a second set for winter. May as well use these, just be careful cause they won't have the grip a good tire will. then next summer or whenever get a better set for summer.

They're probably the cheapest tire the dealer could find in Evo X stock size, they're worthless really so be happy with whatever you get.

as some have already said, just drive careful if you can't afford new tires now. I would switch . I like to take turns fast on freeway ramps, tires really make a difference.

also, weather is a major factor. There's no rain in Cali for the remaining year.. as long as it's dry and hot, you should be fine
