best dr's for a dd well i have heard that some dr's only last like 4,000 miles (m/t) and other misc. bad thing about others. i dont drive my car in the winter. but i would like to get some miles out of them and be able to drive in the rain. also how big can i go on stockers? -thanks
depends on what "stockers" you're running. 1f you have 17x9.5 wheels, i would say 275's to be safe. you CAN not run a nitto 315 on a 9.5 inch wheel. There is much speculation about this. Some people have, Though, this is NOT me recommending you to do so. Check the sticky section. as for 16x8's, i think the recommended size is 255 or 265.
i run a 315-35-17 nitto DR on my car. This is on a 10.5 inch wheel. Tread life is amazing. I have a couple track days, and probably 5K on them, and they're still 60-70% tread.

The Nitto's wont grip quite as good as the BFG's or M/T's etc. but will last significantly longer on the street and work ok in rain so I would suggest them for your needs. I personally run 255 M/T's on some 16x8 salad shooters and wouldn't think you could go any bigger than that and be safe assuming your stockers are 16x8 as well.

Since you said you want them for a dd and to be able to drive in the rain, definitely the Nitto's. I ran Nitto DR's on my car for around 30k miles and I drive 600 - 700 miles a week. Rain was no problem. MT's or even the BFG DR's are NOT tires you want to drive in the rain regularly.
