Re: Best Traction Tires
All seasons are fine. Traction is for sissies...LMAO unless you drag/street race I guess.

Traction is the ONLY thing you have connecting you, your car, and your life to the road. What good is 600 bhp/500 ft. lbs. of torque if you can't get the power to the ground? What good is a $5000 coil-over, camber-plated, strut-braced, poly bushing'd set-up if you can't create lateral resistance to use it? What good are $3000 binders if you can't create the friction necessary to haul you to a stop on the 1320 (or at the corner stoplight for that matter)? All season tires are a compromise of performance and safety. I'm not willing to overlook the importance of either especially when I've invested what I have on my car's upgrades. It's not just about street racing/drag it's about emergency lane changes, stopping to avoid a kid darting across the street, resistance to hydroplaning in a downpour, being able to parallel park before the plows reach the street, and keeping your car on the road on an icy day. If you have the means do yourself and your vehicle (which I'm sure represents the fruits of many hard days of labor) a favor and buy dedicated winter and summer tires.

Re: Best Traction Tires
Hey bro, guess what? I just met with the rear wheels of flatbed cutting me off in the rain and I avoided a crash because of my ALL-SEASON TIRES. So suck it!
edit: Sorry. I was still a little edgy when I posted this. But yeah, if you have the money and if where you live the seasons are extreme and you have the hp to boot, then spring for two separate sets of tires.
