Default Good All Season tires

Any recommendations? I live in Colorado so there is snow! But I also use my stock 15's to race at the track so I would like something that is respectable at the track. Setup is a 96 accord, 98 h22a, and 80hp direct port shot. I dont really want to go over ~$80 a tire though.

do have to drive this in car in snow storms? being in CO i would think you would want a real set of snow tires for the winter.

if you insist on all-season then dunlop SP A2s or bridgstone RE950s are good. the problem is your not going to get good times with an all season tire with that much power, especially a cheap cheap tires. RE950s are kinda pricey, but probably your best bet for a tire to drag race with and have decent snow traction.

Kind of a pain in the *** to have 2 sets, although thats the way it should be. I dont like the prospect of changing the tires every season since i only have one set of wheels. what do you have to offer for drag tires?

I've got the dunlop SP sport A2s on my car and I love them. excellent in the rain, pretty good in snow if it's not too deep, and dry weather traction is better than you would expect from a tire labeled as all-season. they are around $55 from tirerack.com too so you can't beat the price

well depending on how lowered you are you may not be able to get through 5 inchs of snow regardless of tires.

i will say that i'm dropped with eibach pro-kit and tokicos for about 1.5 inches and with my dunlop graspic ds-1s i got through some pretty deep snow that i could not have gotten through with my old dunlop d60 a2s (old version of sp a2s).
i really think real snow tires are the way to go if you drive in snow storms.

Do you know how the RE950's compare to the stock Yokohama S306's I have? They are BALD!

mine went pretty well as long as the bottom of the car wasn't dragging in it. I'm dropped on prokits so yeah 4 or 5 inches is about the limit. I did drive in snow that was "deeper" - according to the weatherman at least but it was all packed down on the roads so it's kinda hard to say exactly.
