Im looking for a good tire. reasonably priced but im more worried about the tread wear and traction. for good traction you need a sticky tire which chews up tread. i want something that is going to last a while. another main point is good all weather tire have to drive in snow (heavy at times) and rain you name it. so to sum it up a long lasting good all weather performance tire for my thunderbird. ive came up with some options: yokohama avids bfgs traction t/a which have a bad tread wear report and the bridgestone pontenza G009s which have better tread life but lack some traction, whats your feelings ------------------ 88 thunderbird TC 2.3L 66 mustang 200ci 3 speed 68 Fairlane 289 w/ auto 79 f150 300 3 onda tree IP: Logged
