Corolla Struts to Tires

Maintenance/Repairs

I had brought my car into Toyota for an oil change for my 2008 Corolla and when I got out of there they had told me that I needed over $2,000 worth of repairs to my car. Two of these repairs (and most expensive) were all 4 tire replacement and front strut replacement. They said that my struts were leaking and my tires really need to be replaced before the first snow fall. Now I don’t have all this money to throw at my car but I really don’t feel like driving into a snowy ditch in freezing temperatures because I didn’t do what I was supposed to do. So my question is, can I wait to get new struts for a short while and only get my tires done now? Or is the wear on the tires due to my bad struts not worth it and will cost more in the end? Also, someone told me that it is best to get the struts first because they will mess up my cars alignment. Is this true?
