If you can't afford tires, like others have said . . . best to wait. This is for safety.

I'd recommend new brake pads, brake fluid, and from what i've heard, an oil cooler.
Already have brake lines, high boiling point fluid, xp10/xp8 and 34 row cooler (and hit 245 oil temp) so I got all the safety stuff done. I buy the hdpe insurance when I go, yea it adds the cost but cheaper if anything happens. It's not that I can't afford the re11 it's just what makes more sense when I am still learning and not even pushing the limits of the tires I have. Spending that much for a tire to really only use 2-3 times a year and not even be near its limits while wasting it 99% on highway. There were still plenty of people out there with none r comp tires guys. It's not like everyone is in group D.

Also I am still on Oem suspension so not too much point running a super sticky tire with minor camber either.
