Go to this site and read reviews on Fuzion tires. You didn't specify which tire model it was, but there are many different tires revied on this site. Fuzion tires are manufactured by Bridgestone/Firestone.
 
I wouldn't spend a great amount of $ on Aveo tires, as the Aveo is really hard on front tire wear-out.

Good Luck!

Tried to go to that site. My browser says it couldnt find it. and since I own an Aveo, I am looking for the size that fits the Aveo The standard size. I'll do a hunt for tires and see what pops up....maybe someone has tried this offer from their dealer..

I hit a huge pothole too. Except 2 of my rims were bent. So instead of buying new aveo rims, I got some MSW's for the same price

I bought my last tires for my compact truck at Discount tires ( discounttires.com ) if you have them in your area. I paid $28 per tire and they are warranteed for 35,000 miles for these basic tires supposedly made by Cooper. The are much better than my original Uniroyals or my previous Pep Boys Futura's. Great traction in rain or snow, quiet, great investment for the price. They also have free rotation and other options.

Hmmmm...very nice looking rims....if I thought I would keep my Aveo,long enough,I would buy rims. But I never keep a car more than 2-3 years. And this one is going to be traded in when the warranty ends. Especially if something mechanical goes wrong with it before the warranty ends. So it is just tires for me.

Only $28 a tire? and probably the same amount to mount them? Yes I have a Discount Tires very near me. I think Coopers are good tires, aren't they? They have a sale right now on a set of 4 tires for any subcompact car...for $78! They dont say what company makes them..but of course that is for the smallest 13in tire they carry. So I guess for our Aveo size..it is closer to the price you say you paid. I got to get something. The front ones are getting to bald...I know they wear out fast. but at 7K miles, they shouldnt look like these do. And since I only drive in the city, it is a lot for turns, so THEY say..that eats up the tires. I am not wasting more money on another rotation of crummy tires. I'll go get a set of new ones..that might last till i trade in, or sell and buy my next Ranger.

I have not heard of that offer at any of the Chevy Dealers around here (Orlando, FL) but I would be willing to try. Are your Chevy dealers near Orlando?
I have had good luck with the cheap tires that came with the car as well. I usually buy my tires at Sams and they have always been good.

or sell and buy my next Ranger.
 
Hurry up -- I think it's the last year for the Ranger. I had one of the early models that I bought new in '83 and sold with 225K on it. Very durable and low-maintenance.
 
Yeah, I wouldn't spend too much on tires. That $28 deal at Discount Tires is worth looking into. I previously bought a set of LeMans at Firestone for about $45 each that were pretty decent. They're made by Bridgestone/Firestone like the Fuzions.

Discount Tires says they are made by Cooper. My S10 14" tires are slightly bigger than the Aveo so they should be less for your car than what I paid. I believe it was about $10 for the mounting, balancing, and valve stems. I am happy with the tires and wouldn't buy at Pep Boys. Pep Boys tries to find other things wrong with your vehicle while its in, and lies to the customer about things that need to be serviced. I do my own maintenance and they tried to pull this bs on me but I knew what I had to said no thanks.
