Default Advice on tires...

well ive had my 4.10's waiting to be installed for a couple weeks now, and i am about to purchase a hurst short throw as well, and install it myself. im having a speed shop put my 4.10's in next weekend.

Now the 4.10's along with the hurst short throw, 93 octane performance tune, JLT CAI, and my exhaust, i am worried about my traction. I want to keep my stock 17" Bright Machined Cast Aluminum Wheels, but i want to get rid of these p zeros. I want a set of tires that are sticky, but that i can also use for everyday use. and im on sort of a budget so i dont want to spend a whole lot on the 4 tires.

Anyone know which direction i should go with as far as tires so that ill be able to have decent traction in first and second gear, for a good price?

Love my Nitto 555's. Its a good all around tire and wont break your budget. A night and day difference from the Zero's.

My friend bought a set of the Sumitomo (Spelling?) tires for a extremely reasonable price and he's very happy with them.

I am totally unfamiliar with them though so they may have a bad or a good history.
