Default need help on some good but not too expensive radials.

Hey guys just recently bought some gunmetal zr1's but need some advice on which tires to buy. They are all 17/9.5 thinkining of getting some bfg kdw, but also looking @ falken rt615 (not too shure if that is the tire code). the rears are definately gonna be some drag radials but also need another set of tires for the wet season, the car is a daily driver 4 now.

Kumho Ecsta 712's, very competent tire and price unbeatable.

I've always had good luck with the Ecsta 712's. Some people hate them and all but I've never disliked them and I've had a couple of sets or at least a couple of pairs up front with DR's in the rear. The Yokohama AVS ES100's are okay too in my opinion.

i've had a pair of 712's on my car but what I didn't like was that after prolonged use when the tires were slightly hot they were worthless. I know that they aren't drag radials but I somehow couldn't get them to hook at the track. My best 60 ft was a 2.0 but I have a friend who has kdw's and he says they grip better.
