Question tire recomendation

hi guys.what street tires would you recomend for my ride its a 98 a4 z28.
it has a 02 ws6 engine-ls6 intake-3 inch random tech exaust-lid and k&n its lowerd with dark blue springs i think there progeressive brand-its has 17 inch chrome wheels with well worn kumho supra 712's. the car just lights up the tires from any speed in 1'st its a little scary lol. i want g force kd's but there like $245 a tire so there a little to much. i was looking at the eather the falken fk451"s-g force kdw's[look simular to the kd's]or nitto 555's.

You could try the Firestone Fuzions. They get good wear and hook good if you know how to do it.

The time in my sig was run on Fuzions with a 1.959 short time. I consistently run 1.95x 60's.

You just have to drop the pressure down to 23-25 psi and heat 'em up a little bit.

Mine were $82 a piece, btw. Not sure how much for 17's, but can't be too far offa $100.

Just my $.02
