how much of a concern/problem is this ?? (the car is a FWD)

The Traction T/As are also directional.

Other places quote about $600 !!!! ***?


That why you should always shop around, some stores have lower overhead costs and they passed the saving to customers, the other places have higher costs and/or want to have higher profit margins and they think most customers will pay their asking prices.

tempted by this now; (GY TT is too $$$ wifey says.)
Seems to have killer reviews/surveys, almost as good as GY TT, but cheaper: General Altimax HP: Treadware is 440 though (55k miles, I guess that's ok for a $62 tire....)

There ya go!
Like I mentioned earlier, there are other choices. Looks like you found another good choice.

In the 215/65R16 T rated, they make a special for Ford (only 96T vs 98T) that is not, I'm 99% sure, directional. I just took a quick look on the BFG website and don't see it. I saw them on a Mustang a coupla years back, and TireRack has them.
