lol... dont buy them if thats what you want. LOL! If you want max grip get a DR.... If you want a normal street tire then go with a BFG or a Michelin. I have Michelin Pilot Sport Cups.. they are a track racing tire. But i got them for free and they hook pretty well.

I have a set of 275/40/17 Fuzions that i just put on my Firebird. Got em for $109 each from tirerack. I Have not been dissapointed with them yet, and for the amount of tirespinning my formula gets, the tread life has been great so far. But the contact patch on these tires is actually a little bit smaller than other brands. For example a 275 fuzion could have the same tread width as a 265 goodyear f1. But I cannot see spending $200+ per tire when these sports cars burn through them regardless of price. I would much rather have 2 sets of $109 Fuzions then 1 bald set of $200 Goodyear F1's. Hope I helped..

Screw that, even if you want to stay away from a D/R you can still get regular nittos for like 125 each.

Go with a set of 555R D/Rs on the back. Believe me, the wet traction is not anywhere as bad as some people make it out to be (its only gonna get you in trouble if you are stupid, I drive 70 MPH in the rain all the time with em).

275/40/R17 is what ya want. There are several online places to buy the D/Rs for around 150.

I have Fuzion Z rated tires on my GT and they work great. But if the street is cold (I live in Chicago) you will not have traction unless you push the accel VERY SLOWLY. If you accelerate even slightly aggressively your tires will spin and your car will get a little sideways. I scared my mother so bad she refuses to ride in my car now!
