Default in need of 315/35/17 tire options

I have some zr1 wheels, and i currently rock some nitto 555r DR's and I absolutely love them.

I was wondering if ya'll can give me decent options for when it comes time to change out the tires.

I know nittos makes some good 315's: 555, 555r, nt05, nt05r

I wish nitto made the invo in 315/35/17

Mickey Thompson ET streets ocourse, hoosier has a nice DR on tire rack, BFGoodrich has a DR.. and from what i can find thats IT

Eagle f1's still make 315?

Kumho offer any 315's?

Are there any other 315's from magazines, websites, catalogs ect that ya'll came across?

I'm only asking so that I can make a better educated decision on my next tire purchase. I'm considering another set of some DR's, but if i can find a decent street tire i'd definitely look into it. I see so many nitto's on the street i wanna try something different.. also got a car show coming up in october so i wanna show on some nice shoes

post pics if you got any, much appreciated

Bringing this thread back since I'm also interested in the streetability of these tires. I'm sure they are for dry conditions only but still wondering how well they do in the rain.

If you plan on driving in rain then do yourself a favor and skip the drag radials. 315s are prone to hydroplaning even if they're just regular street tires.

When my Sumitomo 315s are trashed I plan on buying Nitto NT-555s (not the drag radial) for my 17x11 ZR1s.
