What tires should I buy?
I have a '98 Pontiac Grand Am in need of new tires. I am thinking either BF Goodrich Traction T/A, or GoodYear Assurance TripleTred, but I would like some other ideas too (but no cheap off-brand crap). Either a 205/55/16 or a 225/50/16 will fit. My driving is roughly 80% highway, 15% gravel, 5% dirt/mud; so I need something that won't leave me stuck on some access road, but something that does well on the highway. I have a heavy right foot, so dry traction (mainly cornering, since it's a 4-cyl) is a big concern. I will buy a second set of wheel/tires for winter (Goodyear Ultragrip 195/75/14), so snow/ice traction is not a concern for this set.
Thanks.

Re: What tires should I buy?
both of those sets of tires are horribly overpriced and not what you're looking for. I highly suggest you look at other brands for your needs since the "major" brands of tires are more geared towards the needs of soccer moms and accountants in camry's than what you are looking for.
I think these would fit your needs pretty well - http://www.vulcantire.com/cgi-bin/ti...14&f=v4s_t.htm
