Default Good tire for 16's

What is a good tire to fit the stock 16X8 rims?
I don't care about wet traction. Are the BFG g-force KDs worth the money? How about the Bridgestone RE730?
Thanks.

I loved the firestone sz50ep - 255-50-16. One hooking ****. I had 4.11's, hotcam, superchip, catback, cold air lid and they hooked on the street and drove awesome. Much better than gsc's

G-Force KD's are Awesome. Definately not for rain. I've had GSCs and was not impressed at all with dry performance, but they were real good in the rain. <img border="0" alt="[gruffy cottonball]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_gruffy.gif" />

And GSC's suck IMO.

RE730 are definitely light years ahead of GS-C (which are also summer tires), esp. in wet-traction department.
