You want good traction, at a reasonable price... Not unreasonable, but a bit vague...
How important are things like noise, or tread life?What's the weather like where you live? All of these make a difference, and can be really useful when selecting a tire.
All I have to say is, stay away from Kumho. I (at least) have had a less than positive experience with them.

yeah I have Kumho now and they are dirt. I wouldrather have traction more than noise level...but with the kumho its load as hell so probably anything i get will better for that. I live in Indiana so weather is nice pretty much all summer and then the usual rain. I was looking at BF g-force T/A's

I've heard g-forces are pretty good, so I don't think those would be a bad option at all...
A friend of mine runs Azenis on his Rabbit, and those things are awesome.
But yeah, with Kumhos, they were loud as hell, they stuck okay, though. But I can't forget blowout issues. The Kumhos I had liked to do this thing called shred apart. It sucked pretty badly.
