As for tires, go to any reputable tire store (Goodyear, Michelin, Firestone, etc.) they'll give you good advice on tires. Check Tirerack.com for other info regarding pricing, etc. I like the Bridgestone Potenza RE 950 tires which are less than $100 each. A number of other good choices are available for similar prices.
Don't go to Midas for anything.
The check engine light and the gas smell are probably related. Sounds like the charcoal cannister (which traps gas vapors from the gas tank) or the plumbing related to it has a defect. A reputable repair shop (gas stations don't necessarily qualify) should be able to pull the code and get a better read on the fault. Some auto parts stores (Auto zone?) will do the same for free.
