I have a few questions about replacing my Si's front tires. My front right tire has been losing air a lot faster than the rest recently so I took it in and they said it has a scratch in it. Since it's been low a lot, that tire is pretty worn. They recommend that I replace both front tires since the left one is kinda bad too. Right now, I still have the stock all-seasons.

If replacing just the front tires:

1) Should I get summer tires or do I have to get all-seasons since that's what I am keeping in the back?

2) I guess the stock all seasons are 215/45-17. Do the ones I get need to be the same?

2) I am looking for something cheap since I plan on eventually getting 18s and new tires. Which of the following would yall get? (They are the cheapest ones on Tire Rack and are all 215/45-17).

Sumitomo HTR Z $64
General Exclaim UHP $71
Fuzion ZRi $77
Sumitomo HTR Z II $77
Sumitomo HTR+ $77
Kumho Solus KH16 $80
Kumho ECSTA ASX $81
Kumho ECSTA SPT $82

I would be fine with getting the Sumitomo HTR Z for $64. Are those decent tires or should I get one of the other ones?

Sorry, I don't know **** about tires. I searched but couldn't find anything about just replacing just front or rear tires.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
