I don't have any pictures as of yet. I'm waiting to put the new rims & tires on which will hopefully be done this weekend then I can do a before and after.

Any suggestions regarding what tires to get??

sure, I would go with Toyo Proxies PX4. They're all season performance I believe, I replaced the ContiSport Contact 2's with these and the Toyos are great, maybe even better than the Conti's.
I ordered online through Edge Racing, they're about $100 each but expect them to take their time shipping, maybe 2-3 weeks.

Or instead of ordering them since it seems that you want them way before 2-3 weeks i would say ask tire kingdom or a place like that around you i'm sure they would have most of what you would need in stock
