+1 go for grip. A few years ago I was driving my wife's car in the rain. Some moron decided he really needed to pull out RIGHT NOW. He could see me coming but I really think he was wanting me to hit him. The tires did a very average job of stopping and I almost did hit the jerk. I replaced the tires with better (more expensive) tires and it made a huge difference. Fast stopping ability is a very good thing.
