Default Which tires to buy for a 2001 Cobra...?

I'm in need of 2 rear tires for my 01 Cobra. I currently have 245/45/17 Toyo Proxes FZ4's up front. I was just going to buy 2 new FZ4's but I cant seem to find any place that sells them.

I'm looking to get 2 rear tires that will grip better then the FZ4's did. Anyone got any advice? Thanks,

-Matt

I've heard lots of good things about Nitto tires for Stangs but never used anything but Goodyears when mine was still on the street.

If you want a GREAT dry traction cornering tire
Go with these!

Edit: It's what I run on the street, Great Tire it is
Just not too good of a tire to be LAUNCHING off of.

Well, I talked to Dave with discounttiredirect and he said those Nitto NT 555's would fit perfect so i bought a set of two for my rear wheels...
