Check Tirerack.com and compare the traction numbers versus price.
Get a sheet of paper and a calculator. List on one line: tire brand, tire size, price, traction and tire wear numbers from the side of the tire.

1.Divide price into traction number. The highest number will be the best deal of traction per dollar.

2. Decide how much you are willing to spend.
--------------------------------------------------
Of the tires in your chosen price range,......Next divide tread wear by traction. The LOWEST number will be the best deal of traction per miles driven.
