the touring t/a's are gonna be a bit more soft and mushy, wont handle turns quite as well, they're what the industry terms as a "broadline" tire... general use, not high perfomrance--typical s or t performance/speed rating. the traction t/a's will handle spirited driving/cornering better, how much depends on the performance/speed rating of the tire. the traction's come in t,h,v performance/speed rating t being the lowest, then h and v at the top. the higher the speed/performance rating, the stiffer the tire will be, helping to increase steering response, though at the expense of tire longevity.
...though i did notice that the touring t/a is no longer on bfg's site, its been discontinued, methinks.
