I know the 3 don't go together very well, and I have been looking around tirerack and I need some good tires, but on a budget. Preferrably less than 85$ a tire w/o shipping.

I'm in WI, so it snows a lot, so I need at least some decent snow traction, and I would mainly like good wet and dry traction in the straights and in the turns.

The tire size would be either a 205-60R15 or 225-60R15
Thanks

Edit:

This is what I'm leaning towards right now.

Kumho Ecsta ASX, its an ultra high performance all season. good in the rain, better than decent grip. the sidewalls are a little flexy, but its an allseason and its not relatively cheap.

The Traction T/A is a good tire for the price, but I don't have any data on it's snow performance.

FYI, Skip Barber uses them on their Formula Dodge school cars.

You might look at getting some steel wheels and snow tires for the winter months. The Michelin X-Ice is an awesome snow tire.
