Default Need help picking rear tires

So it's that time again. I currently have nitto invo's and I'm wondering if I should go another route. I'm more interested in canyon carving than straight line traction but I'd like both haha. Don't run at the track much and it's a weekend warrior. Looking at 295/35/18 or 305s. Money is tight so I'm looking on the cheaper end of the spectrum. Recommendations?

My foreign car customers seem to love Continentals. Read picky lol, there is a nice tire on tire rack on special 219. Btw I'm one of those picky BMW owners and we have had nothing but invo separation issues.

Yeah Conti DW are a good handling tire. You should try the new BFG Gforce Rival which will be available in June. This tire is tops in handling for street handling. They are all the rage with the Auto X crowd.
