i've always had good luck with Yokohama ES100's...AA traction and they last pretty good...also BFG KDW's new and old tread design..the newer design looks a lot better!!! Cooper sucks and Toyo's always come back with seperations...not good...like dimebag said....for the price...the kuhmo's will be a good choice also....if there is a tire you see and ya have a question...just ask....i'll give ya my opinion on em...

Stay away from the Uniroyals! I generally just stick with BFG, all of their tires are great.

I work at a goodyear dealer and it basically depends on how much money you want to spend, obviously the brand name tires are the best, (goodyear, kumho, MT, yokohama, bridgestone) you get what you pay for but I would suggest not buying any off brand tires unless you want to just burn them off, if you want cheap dependable tires with good all around traction sumitomo tires are good for that.

BFG G Force Sport I had some put on a few weeks ago they stick really well 225/50/16 up front 255/50/16 out back they drive really nice. I have to try pretty hard to get them to break loose, whole set less than $450.
