Thumbs up Looking for cheep 17" drift tires. 205-245/40-45/17

I usually hit up my local tire shops for their recycle tires. They have all stoped giving them to me and want $25 for even 1 of the crappyest tires. It was great while it lasted. I havent payed for drift tires in about a year. @ $3 a mount , $3 a dismount and $1-3 disposal that puts a hole in my wallet alone. About $50-75 each month for mounting, $30 to get into desoto, $30-40 in gas and $20 for food/ drinks = about $150 for 1 day of fun a month. I have 2 girls (5 months and a 3 year old) and paying rent, food, baby food, water, electric, insurance, gas, phone ext. makes for harsh times. I'm very greatfull I have a wonderfull family, a good job and a fun hobby. If anyone has any tire hook-ups or better prices on mounting PLEASE let me know! I wanted to invest in a tire machine because it would pay for itself in 6 months but someone got the machine before I could afford it. I havent been drifting in about 3 months due to blown shocks and now I'm ready to tear it up again!

I don't think I will be able to afford new tires. I'm a broke Bi$h with 4 mouths to feed. But you could let me know the PR and brand anyway for $h!t$ and giggles.
