Default DD tires

What tires would be good for a Daily Driver? I need these tires to be dependable in the rain, dry and last a good while....I searched a lil but still undecided..

I had Federal, currently have yokohama av1-40i on and they both suck.

I don't race right now so hooking isn't a big issue but I hate my tires slipping when trying to accelerate.

GS-D3's would be a great overall option. I also reccomend the Nitto 555R's. Both will last a while, and have good traction in most any wheather. Overall both I believe would be ideal for a DD.

I've got Cooper Lifeliner SLE Sport tires (275 / 40 / 17) all the way around on my Firebird, and they're great. I mail ordered the entire set for $400 shipped, though the price seems to fluctuate.

They aren't too bad. They do decent in most wheather conditions, but they don't last quite as long as the ones I listed originally.

i got the bridgestone potenza re750's and never had a problem with them they are a pretty good price and grip in all conditions. even when you spin them they dont take much rubber off so they'll last longer.

BFG KDW's. Awesome tire in all weather conditions, and great driveability.
