Talking Help Me Decide On Some Dr's!!!

well.. the time has come for this. I have done my research and found a lot of ups and downs on tires. I must say I am pretty informed and confused now. I am purchasing my new wheels in the next week or two and they will be 18 x 9.5 fronts and 18 x 10.5 rears. The rear tires will be dr's but as I said I have found a lot of ups and downs. BFG's, Nittos, etc..

The car is a weekend car only. Never sees rain or bad weather and for the most part is just a summer toy. When I take the car out I like to play with other cars on the street and highway so I want a tire that will stick from dig and roll. This is my main concern as I never really go to the track.

I want to hear some opinions, reviews, suggestions, and anything else you want to say.
