Tire choice I am getting ready to purchase two new rear tires and I need an opinion from you all. I have three choices that fit my **** poor budget:
1. Nitto 450 - V rated
2. Nitto 555 - ZR Rated
3. Kumho Supra 712 - ZR Rated
all are size 245/60/R16
(Whats the widest size that I could get on my stock TA wheels?)
My car is my daily driver and sees around 100 miles a day. I mainly play on the streets and open roads with the occasional race or two every other day. I dont use the car as a track car so I need something that will hold up to my daily grind and stick hook like a **** when I need it to.
Any opinions are greatly appreciated

Pisses me off when people speak when they have no personal experience.
Many people run a 315 on their stock wheels, me being one of them.

Per Nitto, 315's require a 10.5" wide wheel minimum.
285 is the maximum width tire for a 9" wide wheel.

Really then how come 1000s of people run them with no problems? Besides anyone that has had a set of nittos knows that they are not a true 315 tire.
