What are some good tires that grip up well? Thanks.

 

BFG Gforce KD or KDW's. 200 and 300 traction rating.

 

How much are they and where can I get them?

 

www.tirerack.com has them...discount tire co...prolly your local hi volume tire dealer..even walmart can order them for you from their tire catalog.

 

i think wally world is probably the cheapest place to get them

 

Yeah, didn't me, you, and Daniel have this convo one night?

 

yes sir

 

What would be a good size for the rear?

 

don't confuse tread wear with traction traction would be a A or an AA being the best. I personally recommend nitto extreme force 404. they have a 420 tread wear rating with traction A temperature A. they ride SMOOTH and quite and grip the road excellent in dry and wet conditions. a 300 treadwear tire might last 25-30k where as a 420 treadwear might see as much as 45k miles if treated right. I guess it all depends on what your expectations are and how often you want to buy tires.

 

I have had my Toyo proxes ST for 30,000 miles and love them. The big plus is the ( Rim protector to guard against wheel and sidewall damage) it works. Some of the dam drive-thru window are tight to get through. The tread wear is amazing.
Here are the specs

- Mud and snow (M&S) rated for all-season performance

- High angle tread groove to resist aquaplaning

- Low angle tread grooves excellent for wet handling

- High ply turn-up casing construction for handling and stability

- High bead filler for excellent steering response

- Jointless two-cap ply for high-speed endurance.

- Cap/base compound for high speed durability. The base compound helps the tire run cooler. The cap compound provides high friction and wear resistance.

- Rim protector to guard against wheel and sidewall damage.

- High tensile steel belts for ride comfort and stable ride

- High-modulus bead filler and strong polyester casing assure responsive handling with excellent ride comfort.

- Aggressive tread pattern and sidewall design for sporty appearance.

- Jointless bead wire for uniformity and balance.

- H and V speed-rated (depending on size)
- UTQG Treadwear 420
- UTQG Traction A
- UTQG Temperature A
- M and S Rated
