Strret Tire and traction issue

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've been running dunlop sp5000s for a few years now, including a couple winters of daily driver duty. I know, my location says VA, but that includes a lot of driving up into PA including morer than a few times in decent snow. And these tires are the best performance tire of any kind i have ever had in snow. great in rain. And great dry. (I've cut 1.8 60's on 'em.)

Depending where you go expect to pay $125-150 a tire. But as with most things in life, you get what you pay for. Like michelin used to say, your tires are the only safety feature that touches the road.

I havent had luck with any tire on my drive wheel. a little to much gas and it breaks loose into 2nd gear. althoe like Ed Maher I have a dunlop SP sport 5000 on it now and it has done the best out of the 3 tires that have been there.
