How screwed is my wallet?

Last week I was out visiting some relatives and I did something stupid. My tires are old and I was planning on replacing them, but this trip came and I decided to postpone it, which I where my stupidity came into play. Their driveway is a bit narrow and I kind misjudged my speed and hit the right side into the wall. The wall is fine, but my fender and bumpers are damaged, also the headlight is cracked but it still works. In my years of ownership I haven't had this kind of damange so I was wondering if anyone know how much this would cost me? Also, anyone care to give me some recommendation for tires? I'm not looking to pay top dollar, so something mid would be fine I guess

idk about the cost, you need to check the dealer or maybe autoshop for that, but I can tell you about the tires. mid-range brands like Michelin Defender, Bridgestone Turanza, or Goodyear Assurance are usually solid choices
 
These things can vary in cost depending on your vehicle, but you're probably looking at anywhere from $1,000 to $2,500 if you're going through a shop. Maybe a bit less if you're okay with aftermarket parts or doing some work yourself.

I think we all had those shoulda replaced the tires moments, hadn't we all? I mean, fender bumper, and headlight damage can be sooo costly. Maybe 800 if you go aftermarket then up to 2k dollars if you go OEM. For tires, check out Falken Wildpeak or Cooper Discoverer. They're pretty good.
