Default I'm ready for some traction

I currently have completely stock 16 inch (i believe) chrome T/A wheels. I tried to read the stickies but dont really understand much of it. Anyway I'm looking to get better tracking for launching purposes. The car is my daily driver so I would like a balance of endurance and traction. Also, I am not sure how much the full setups cost could I get some estimates.

Its hard to pick out a performance tire for a daily driver. There are no "perfect daily tires that hook good" Its usually one or the other...performance or complete driveability.

I've had really good luck with BFG KDW's. not sure if they make them for the stock wheels as I have TTII's.
