Default suggestions on 315 series tires?!?
i just ordered some y2k deep dished 18x10.5 rears and would like to go with 315 wide tire. I've searched some tire websites but could only come up with a few. anybody have any suggestions? what are other people running with 315's? i think there are some more choices out there for 305's, but i really wanted to go with 315's

Depends on what you are willing to spend

Cheap- Sumitomo

High End - Goodyear GS-D3

Sticky, aggressive, potentially more expensive options...
Michelin PS2, or Sport Cup,
Mickey Thompson street radial/DR,
Nitto NT01.
Pirelli Corsa (closeout sale on TireRack).

I'm not saying you have to go broke, just don't waste your money on Sumitomos.

I just ordered mine today... Nitto Extreme 555's ( 315/35/17).. they had a set of the GY GSD3's... Man, that is some MEAT!! The 315's @ Discount Tire were $349.00 ea..

I got my Nitto 315's for $200.00 ea.. I have ran them both! They are both great tires if you are not daily driving the car.

Stay away from the Sumi's... Get your wallet out if you are wanting Michelin..
Just my .02

I run Nitto 555s and love them, good traction and look sick.

i've had nitto dr's before, they wore out pretty quick, but they hooked great and looked awesome, i have 18's so that severely limited my tire options, so i ended up going with nitto dr's sized 305/35/18

Nitto DR's are good tires, and shouldn't wear too bad unless you have a lead foot .
