you could put some 275/40 (if its a 17'rims) on too btw. you could even streach it out to 255 if you really wanted too. my drifter friend steach a 245 tire on, but its really tight and more for drifting the other two that i suggested arent steached all that much and you could still get traction.

+1 on the Goodyear Eagle F1s. I've put a ton of miles on the ones I have on my '87 BMW and they're still in good shape. Great grip too, though I don't know how they hook up on a hard launch. Not cheap, but then again not super expensive either.

I have 315 sumitomo's on mine. i like them ok. They are decent around town and good in the rain. I do break them loose though in first and second so they don't hook that well. But they will last me over a year because they are a realitively hard tire.
i also have sumitomo's...they are a hard tire, last forever..i like to burnout so they are good for that....i used to have nitto 555r's, but like i said, burnouts+nitto 555r's=$ haha...

315 nitto 555 street tires here and i love them best grip ever from a street tire. tread wear is great i have been to the track twice and drive alot and still look brand new i would recomend them to anyone looking for 315s with good tread. i went to the track with some 275 MT et streets and my 60ft was only .1 better with those than my nitto 555 street tires

Do NOT buy sumitomo's...they suck, I think we've all had a set in the past...and even though they are cheap, they look and hook like sh*t.

Get some Nittos...

I have 335-30-18 Michelin Pilot Sports on the rear and am completely sastified with those. But at about 440 a tire I think after these are done I will be going to BFG KDW2's. BTW these are on 18 x 10 FR500's.
I have the same rear tires...HUGEtime
