BFG-KD-G force, hook very well. If you want wet traction, go with the KDW. Good for 20000 miles. I used them both and have zero complaints. The only thing I advise anyone of , do not use a 275 up front. It pulls you into every rut.

No one has posted anything about Toyo's... I have Toyo PR1's, and before that, I had Khumo Ecta's, the PR1's are a MUCH better tire than the Ecta's. Hook a LOT better IMO.

Also: Depending on your wheel width, I wouldn't go with 245's up front, I'd do 265's. I have 245's on a 18x9 up front and it looks like the tires are trying to hang on to the wheel for dear life. []

Then what I'd do myself is go 275 all around, when the rears wear just swap the fronts with them, that's what I did with my old 245's.

Edit: blah, I need to start thinking before I post. I meant change the fronts to the rears and then buy new ones for the front, lol.

I've got 245 fronts and 275 rears. I went with BF Goodrich G-Force Sports. They are a decent sticky street tire. Mine were $496.50 shipped from www.tirerack.com I've been buying tires from them for years now. Here is a direct link to them and a description of the tire.

Sumitomo HTRZII for $120 to $140 each depending on size. When you burn rubber you wont even think twice or feel guilty
how are the quality of these tires? how is the traction? and btw those are some HOT camaros
Thanks alot! I had 285's in the back with decent traction but they were not very sticky somewhat plastic like. Anyone correct me if im wrong.
