Yeah if you want the extra miles out of your tires get the nitto 555r they should have them in your size, they do work good, but if you want a better time and if you are a 6 speed with a 12bolt or 9inch get the mickey thompson et street radials.
Never mind, just saw your sig, you do have a 6 speed, and if its the stock 10 bolt any drag radial can destroy that rear end so keep that in mind.

I would say go with mickey thompson or bfgoodrich, I have had both and they stick nicely at the track. I have nittos on my ws6 now just cuz I bought them with the nittos. I am due for a new set of rear tires and will prolly be going with bfgoodrich just cuz they last a little longer on the street. As for the 315 nitto, yes they will fit but no dont do it.

They do squeeze in a tad but they do fit. he has als tried the 275's but now he just runs the 315's
From the back side they look pretty good. I'll try to find a pic to show you the way the bow in a little

You can see how it is a tad fat for the rim, but my buddy has had no issue in the 2 sets he has been through, also I run a 255 on my 8 inch stock rim and it looks the same as above with the sidewall wanting to bow in slightly, no issues with mine as well.
I think these 315's look good.

The best tire in that size is an ET Street Radial. There is no comparison traction-wise between the 555R and MT's or Hoosiers. Only thing the Nittos have going for them is treadwear and they're better in the rain until they wear out, but that's exactly why they don't give anywhere near the traction of the others.

honestly, Ive got BFG's on my car now, and I dont think ide ever buy them again for anything more then a bolt on car. They held decent at the track, 1.7 60 ft times, but they SUCK on the street. Next tire will be either 28 tall Mickeys or 28 tall hoosiers.......
