Default need tires tomorrow

had a blowout today while on the way to pick up the girlfriend from work.....and i am too broke to afford the same old Nitto NT555R drags this time, and was looking for a cheaper alternative without having to lose so much traction.....i have 275/40R17 Fuzion ZRi's on the front(which i am also replacing, probably with the same thing) and was thinking about just going ahead and throwin those on the back(seein how cheap they are)......im not too sure on how the traction for the rear.....anybody have any suggestions on what i should get? im looking at going with 315/35R17 on the rear, but will settle with a 275/40R17......need help asap....i am going to the tire shop tomorrow to get rid of my donut....thanks in advance

If your going to get 315's get the nitto Dr's 315 35 17. Although they have 6/32 as a new tire they are cheap for 315's here is the link. The only problem is how wide is your wheel. I hope they are 10.5 or a 11 inch wheel. don't try to squeeze them on a 9.5 inch wheel.
