You can cut sub 2.0 60' with any good street tire.

My recommendation is to get the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. Size 285/35/18 is optimum for you. It will last you longer than any drag radial and should hook just as good as the nitto's. Not to mention the rain will be far superior and they only cost $10 more per tire. Expect 3 times the life of a nitto out of these tires.

When it rains I get off the highway or slow down to 40mph. Nitto's are the best in the rain when they are NEW but when you get a few miles on them they are bad maybe it is just the width of the 315?
I get nervous as a ***** in church every time I get caught in the rain.


Hey Rob how is it going give me a call sometime.
