RE: Good Street Tires
I'm running the Nitto 555 285/40/18's in the rear, not only are they a bunch wider they seem to be a whole lot stickier. With my stockers & my tune I could light them up in 1st, spin them in 2nd to the point the car tries to go sideways & a good chirp in 3rd & this is with an auto. Now I can spin them in 1st depending on the surface & chirp in 2nd.

RE: Good Street Tires
If staying with the stock 17x8, I would recommend a 255/50/17 tire.
I just put on Riken Raptor tires in the above said size. Too early to tell how much better they are than stock on hard launches but the steering response is better.
