Default Best Damn Set

What is the best damn set of 18 inch rear tires?!?! in 295+ width
Traction, handling, tread wear, appearance, cost, actual size...

I had a set of GY GSD3s those tires were awesome,all around performance.
Also ran a set of 555r, great traction and tread wear for DR.

Currently I'm running 315 Azenis, fancy tread pattern but its just
pissy overall. I'm spinning in 4th gear.

So what's out there?
I'm talking about a tire for 500+rwhp on daily driver.

Why not run a 315 again? I have had great success with the Toyo R888 and TQ series drag radials. Great tire wear. Hook decent. I liked the better than the Nitto 555r.
