Default Street tire

Looking for a non radial street tire and can't really find one that's a 315. My toyo proxes didn't last too long. About 6k miles and have maybe another 2-3k left.

Did you ever look into Nitto555? They are a nice street tire and have awesome traction for what they are.

Only did one burnout to get rid of the coating that came on the tires when I bought em. Other then that, I don't mash the gas very often to spin the tires.
