Good sticky tire with all season tread?
Im looking for a good tire to put on the rears, but I dont want to go out for a drag radial. I was looking at the Nitto 450 extremes. I dont really want to spend anymore than 100 or so per tire. I want a tire that I can daily drive, yet will still hook somewhat at the track. Anything out there that people are raving about?

Um the 450 extremes are $94 per tire with free shipping. The 555s are around 150 per tire. I realize im not going to get great hooking tire, but I was just wondering what is out there that has some good performance for the money.

I was mistaken. The $94 per tire did not include free shipping. However www.discounttiredirect.com has them for $106 and that is for sure free shipping. I saw on tirerack some sumitomo htr+ for $77 and goodyear gt-hr for the same price. Not sure how well the sumitomos and goodyears perform. Ive read generally good things about the Nittos.

I have 315 BFG Radial TAs on my Cobra that gets driven all summer. I like them, they're cheap, they hook good, and they arnt horrible in the rain.

lol no I realize im not going to get a tire that will hook like crazy for 100 bucks, but I want a tire that has the most grip for that price range. It looks like the Nittos are decent, but I wonder how the Sumitomos and Goodyears are. Im not looking for a DR or high end tires, but I would like to find something reasonable that I can work with. Its not a track car, but I do like to run from time to time. Im leaning towards the Nittos, but I read a lot about the Sumitomos.
