Tire/Traction ???

K guys my back tires are near shot well actually they are totally shot. So im looking to get a nice pair of back tires. I would like something with decent thread(at leat 20,000^) and decent rain/snow traction. I was thinking the BF Goodrich kdws tires. I want something that if i decide to punch it i wont spin forever. I currently have p245 50zr16 tires not sure brand. THe local shop wants 162.00 a pair for these bf goodrichs(balanced) anyone know any tires better then this or a little cheaper. Thanks

I used to use BFG Comp TA's tires on my truck. When they were worn out, one of my sponsors told me he could get me good new tires for half the cost of the BFG's. I now have Kelly Charger tires on all 4 corners and really like them. They have an aggressive tread but are still quiet on the highway. Like any street tire, they don't provide fantastic traction at the track but still worked better than my old worn out tires.
