In Canada (Toronto) - need new spring/summer/fall tires

So I am not super car savvy and I am looking for recommendations for tires to replace my originals with for my BRZ

Budget approx 800 CAD

I am not familiar with the 240/x/x numbers or their benifits.
Roads are pretty shit with lots and lots of construction off and on highways

I’m scrolling they other posts but feel lost, comparing on tirerack but looking for advice

Thanks in advance

If you want a grippy summer tire the Firestone Indy 500 is hard to pass up. You can have them for under $700

I have the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. If you’re just looking for stock size, can’t go wrong with that.
