What are you wanting? What Size? If you're stock, I really like my BFGoodrich H-Rated Traction TA's. Mine is an all stock daily driver with an AOD. My old tire would spin fairly easy dry, and impossibly easy wet. My car was very difficult to control when taking off on a wet road. The H-rated Traction TA's stick SUPER Wet or Dry. I can take off agressively on a wet road now, and the tires stick. Before I always had to take off extremely gently and even then I would often end up feathering the gas until I finally gained traction. If you're looking for something like this I would highly recommend these tires. If you're looking for a different size than stock, these probably don't come in the right size. I also don't know how well they would work for drag hookups etc. As to price, I got the set installed at Sam's club for less than $360 around 6 tp 8 months ago. I had to order them over the internet from Sam's and get them installed when they arrived. My local store didn't stock them.

Love my nitto 555r's. Can drop it in first and grab. I paid $136 each and shipping was free at discount tire direct. Went with the nitto 450's up front for $96 each.

I'm going with the BFG G-Force, I've heard alot of positive feedback regarding these tires. I'm running the BFG drag radials right now, they are great tires if you have a money tree, because they don't last long at all. I'll put 255 16's in the back.

i had a set of nitto 450 all the way around and i hated them, i have a 94 gt 5 speed stock motor and they wouldn't keep traction at all unless you baby the car wet or dry weather. i now have a set of toyo proxy 4 and i love them i can lauch the from 3k and no problems with traction wet roads they stick better than most tires i have seen, my daily car is a cavalier and in the rain around here even that spins tires but the proxies on the mustang hardly spin... if your looking for a good tire that gribs i suggest the toyo's i pays about 175 a peace for them a year ago but i know that belle tire sells them for $96 each just check your lug's before you leave i only had 6 tight lugs when i left they're store
