good dry/wet tires?
Right now the mustang has nitto 555's on it and they dont really like wet roads...i cant really go more than 1/4 throttle without it going sideways in first-third gear. so im looking for decent cheap tires (under $100 a piece preferably). snow traction is not a factor, as the car obviously wont be seeing snow.

I have Fuzion ZRi tires on the Lumina, and they were a huge jump in wet/dry traction from the previous all-seasons.

i just realized that i have old tires from my GP that are the same exact size, kumho ecsta ASXs...not much tread left on them but they were still good for rain when i took them off. so i think im gonna put 2 of them on the rear and see what happens. if they suck, ill just burn the **** out of them

that tread pattern is found to provide excellent rain performance while still giving a large contact patch. i've heard only the best things about it.
