Default Tires, your advice needed

My car sees a lot of street miles, try to avoid driving it in the rain, but once in awhile inevitable.

I have two options:

Get slicks for my old stock rims that are 15x8 or DRs to DD on for my current 15x10 rims.

If I get DRs, im thinking Nitto..

Which would you do and why? Specifically what size tire would you run on each?

Thanks

For a 15x8 depending on your rear end gearing and how hard your spinning your motor you would want to go with either a 26" tall 275/50/15 or a 28" 275/60/15 M/T ET Street Radial.

Plans changed, I think I'm going to see how it is DDing MTs very easy.

What size is best for a 15x10 rim? 325/50r15?

And what should I run on the front tires?
