Exclamation traction issues

best street tire to run besides d/r, not running at the track , street use only,

Upgrade to a 255/50ZR16, that will get you the max treadwidth for your wheel.

As for the traction of a KD, it's OK, when it is cold or damp, forget it.

I've had good luck with Avon Tech M500's in the P245/50/WR16. I really like this tire.

My car has always been real loose anyways. It never had traction control as an option.

I think toyos are the best tires. I would go with a t1s or a t1r

I had a set of Kumho's 245-50-16 that were pretty good
