      Good feedback on all of them too...
      No idea why they are going for the cheap price, but I like the tread pattern on the second set you listed.

            I have the HTR+ and I think they are a great tire for the money. When I got mine, I paid 81 a tire. Much better than the goodyear GA's. The HTR+ are similar to the BFG's KDWS tires except a whole lot cheaper.

              those seem to be what i have on the rear of my camaro right now.. I'm pretty sure they are teh htr+.. I payed a similar price for them at sears. My opinion of them is they are a decent tire for the money. Grip is good. However, the sidewalls are softer than what i'm used to. the first few turns at speed with them was scary till i got used to my rear end swinging sideways a bit before it took a set in the turn. I only have them on the rear right now and havent got them on teh front yet. With the softer sidewall, im not sure if id like them on the front. Decent rain traction. Ok snow traction, just gotta keep them spinnin if you wanna go anywhere. all in all, not a bad deal for the money,though i probably wouldnt buy them again unless i was hard up for cash (like when i bought them originally...)

                Oh, forgot to mention... my car has the factory suspension except for bilstein hd's and prokit springs... my rims are teh angled split 5 spoke Z rims, so my tires were 245 50 R16

                I jsut realized that what i have on front looks exaclty like the third tire you have listed, only mine are kelly chargers. Id assume the materials are different but the tread is identical. Mine have decent lateral grip but they tend to lock up under any sort of hard,uneven braking, like trail braking into a corner... the inside tire squeals like hell.. but side to side, they hook up excellent.

                hope my increadibly long winded response helps some man..
