What size are your TT2s? If 9.5" wide, the widest you can safely go is a 285 on the rear. 315s have been done but are not recommended.

stick to a 275 or 285, nothing bigger. The KDW tires and Nitto 555's are popular as are the GS-D3's if you got the cash.

I had Nitto 555Rs. They worked good on the street, plus you can get decent mileage out of them compared to the other drag radials.

I currently run 17's 275's all the way around on the street. They work great in the rain and 17's are much cheaper than 18's. The Goodyear GS-D3 are great in the rain but are pricey. A better choice would be would be to use Kumho SPT or Fuzion Zri; they are also very good in the rain (pretty decent in the dry) and you can replace them every two years.
