Next to the F1's that I have driven on, the Falken FK452 is pretty good. They dont like the cold one bit, better than the "OLD" F1's, but not nearly as nice as the newer GSD3's. I put a set of the FK452's on mine just last week replacing the older F1's and they are not too bad. Find they really track the road so you really have to pay attention to the wheel. I haven't pushed these hard at all yet, other than a couple of little launches, but it is still too cold here to really try them out and see what they can handle.

I've had good experiences with Nitto NT05s. My only complaint was that they wear ridiculously fast. My next tire buy will probably be a set of NT-05Rs (for my daily driver!)
My 2000 SS came with Toyo Proxes T1-S tires on it (295/275) and I absolutely hate them... They don't corner for ****! I'm hesitant to try R888s even with all the good things I hear about them now.

I run the Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 on my Nissan and those tires are insane. As close to a DOT legal tire as you can run.
On the T/A, nothing gets traction. Nothing. I'm going to try Toyo Proxes TQ next since the NT05R are more expensive and people seem to like the Proxes more (even tho it's pretty much the same tire). If it doesn't handle well enough, R888 is what I'm doing all around.

I nearly bought the R888's or the R1-R's, but the budget wouldn't allow it. I did get the NT-05's. They do not hook up as well as a drag radial, but are much better than alot of street tires. Lateral grip is fantastic, although will not be up to R888 standards, but very good compared to most street tires. So far I have really liked them. Good choice for a weekend/summer car.
