My car had 2 sets of different tires on it when I got it. It had(still has) Dayton Daytonas on the front and Firestone Firehawks on the back. One of my firehawks blew out one day on my way to school, so since mine is a daily driver as well, I got (2) BFG G-Force KDWS for $276.00 out the door. I like them. They do pretty well for a street tire. I went with a street tire for the sake of the 10 bolt. Damn 10 bolts.

Well I like the Yokahama AVS ES100 tires I have. They look real aggressive and with a little heat put in them they hook good IMHO. I pulled a 1.84 short time with them in my pewter A4 car. But if your planning on DRs anytime in the future the Nitto 555s would be good, cause then they'd match the Drag Radial 555Rs when you put them out back.
