I've had good luck out of my 275/40 Fuzions on my car, or until 1 of them got a cut in it. They hook halfway decent and are pretty cheap. $119 @ Tirerack -->

Best is insanely vauge when talking about tires.
What do you want out of your tires and what is your budget?
Will you see rain/snow?
Life span an issue?
Price?

Well, I live in Northern Alabama, so Dry & Rainy...Most of the time. As for a budget, low, i'm 16. My friend has kumho's on his 83 Lt1conversion Camaro and they seem to work pretty good, but, there is an issue of going from my Dunlaps (being a softer rubber than that) me loosing acceleration because of them being softer rubber...? Whats you guys opinion on what I should do?

I just got some Falken Ziex ZE512 (275/40ZR17). They are an all season tire. They handle nicely in the rain and hook pretty decenly in dry. Best part, only $110 a tire from DTD.

I had Kumho 712s on my car when I bought it. Had about 3/32s of tread on them. After 2 months of driving, I was showing bands on 3 tires. Those tires were SO soft.
I love my BFG KDWs tho. Being in the South I know how those storms can pop up outta nowhere. Ive yet to have a problem with wet or dry weather traction with them. To me, these tires are great. They can be a lil pricey, but I wont put crap tires on anything just to save a buck.
