Default DD tires

What tires would be good for a Daily Driver? I need these tires to be dependable in the rain, dry and last a good while....I searched a lil but still undecided..

I had Federal, currently have yokohama av1-40i on and they both suck.

I don't race right now so hooking isn't a big issue but I hate my tires slipping when trying to accelerate.

GS-D3's would be a great overall option. I also reccomend the Nitto 555R's. Both will last a while, and have good traction in most any wheather. Overall both I believe would be ideal for a DD.

I've got Cooper Lifeliner SLE Sport tires (275 / 40 / 17) all the way around on my Firebird, and they're great. I mail ordered the entire set for $400 shipped, though the price seems to fluctuate.

They aren't too bad. They do decent in most wheather conditions, but they don't last quite as long as the ones I listed originally.

i got the bridgestone potenza re750's and never had a problem with them they are a pretty good price and grip in all conditions. even when you spin them they dont take much rubber off so they'll last longer.
