Unidirectional Tires
Does anyone have a recommendation?
Looking for a unidirectional tire or similar with aggressive thread design, very good wet traction, and decent thread wear.
Will not compromise on traction, looks or speed rating. Will compromise on thread wear and brand. Preferred brands: Goodyear, BF Goodrich, and Michelin.
Size: 275/60/17. Currently have Goodyear Eagle GTII, looking for simillar looking tires with more aggressive threads and much better traction. I don't know why the GTII are rated so high, they probably have the worse wet traction of any tire.
Anyhow, if someone could give me some input before this Saturday when I'll shell out about 800bucks

I'm not sure I understand the question clearly, but take time to check out the Michelin Cross Terrain. I'm not sure if the speed rating is high enough, but the traction is great. They come in different speed rating, but I didn't pay much attention. The tire is all black with black letters.
I don't think they are undirectional, but then I'm not sure what that means. I'm thinking that means you cannot rotate from side to side. If that's the case, then why is it important to you?

Well considering the many replies I got LOL and how I went around town to almost every tire stores and couldn't find anything other than the Kumhos (which didn't look that great anyways) in this size I finally went back to the Goodyear Eagle GTII. They're actually much cheaper now since they've been out so many years, I only paid $540 for the set! Can't complain too much at that price.
