What kind of tires for a daily driver?

Hey guys,
I was wondering what everyones opinion was on a good daily driver street tire. I had Nitto drag radials on the rear and Kuhmos on the front before but the Nitto's got slashed, so I need a good pair of tires for the rear. I dont really want to go back to Nitto's mainly because even heated up I spun all through first and second gear. So, if you guys have any opinion on a good tire for a daily driver, I would greatly appreciate hearing your opinion.

I put BFG g-Force KDWS tires on my car on 24 Dec 2003 and I drove the car from Lancaster PA to Las Vegas NV through rain and snow. They did a great job! I recommend these tires to anyone who wants a bad *** performance tire. 110/tire from Tirerack.com good luck!

Yeah I have heard alot about those and thats really what I need, a tire for wet and dry weather. I was thinking of the BFG Drag Radials, but I heard they suck in wet weather. Thanks for the input.

I would recommend either the bfg kdw or the firestone firehawk sz50, both have done me well.

If you really mean daily driver? Go here http://www.tirerack.com/index.jsp
and look under Max Performance Summer or Ultra High Performance All-Season.
Other wise look under Competition Tires.
