well first stay away from falken if you want grip i had the 451's and they had no straight line grip so try the nitto 450's and stay with 1 size since all the wheels are the same and you can rotate for wear.
discount tire(a sponsor)has em for 105 with free shiping or they have the bfg sports for 114 a tire that are good also.

Good tread life and also good grip for UNDER 100 bucks is impossible. You gotta pay a little extra to SAVE yourself money in the long run. Nothing like BFG for a little over ur price range and needs IMO.

Yeah that's pretty much wishful thinking.

On a 16 wheel for 150/tire you could get something with good characteristics in both areas.

I have found Riken Raptors to be the best bang for the buck. They are made by Michelin.
