Tire opinions needed Well I just ordered my wheels last week now I need to figure out what kind of tires to get. I will be running 315's on the rear and 275's on the front. I don't want a drag radial since they don't last long but I do want a set of tires that handle and grip while lasting at least 20,000 miles. I'm not looking to spend more than $ 200.00 each for them either. I would consider the Nitto 555's but how do they do as far as tread wear? Opinions on different brands? Maybe Goodyear Eagle F1's?
I'm more of a corner carving type rather than drag racing too. Thanks,

If the car is going to see rain the GS-D3 would be your perfect tire. If not the BFG KD is a great dry performer. You'll pay a little more than $200 a tire in those sizes though. You may want to look into the KDW2. Stay away from the oem Eagle F1. The GS-D3 is a completely different tire.
