Noob needs tires

I really really want to replace my tires because they have no traction whatsoever, wet or dry. They spin at 3k rpm and keep spinning until I let up the power... they can't handle quick turns on the offramps either...

I have an 01 ACR, stock wheels. I think 205/55/15's will fit on my stock wheels, which is probably the widest I can get... What are some good brands and places to get tires? I don't want to pay more than $80 a tire, if possible. They need to be all season to handle dry, wet, and the occasional snowfall. I hear BFG is good. The car is a dd; I "race" it on occasion on the street, but never drag or x-cross.

I think it's going to be hard to find a performance oriented 4 season tire... I'm looking at getting Dunlop Direzza DZ101s for my 16" R/T wheels, and they're less than $80, so a 15" should be. I was also looking at Hankook Ventus. Cheap and had good reviews on TireRack.com although, I think some people here didn't like them.
