Do not put a bigger tire on a 9" wheel. If you want 315's get an 11" wheel.
Get a DR tire, like BFGoodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial, or Nitto's. Then you'll have to worry about getting caught in the rain. If this is your daily driver I'd get some drag wheels with some E/T Streets.
Peace,

I think i am gonna go with nittos then, how does their traction compare to goodyear f1 gs dts or whatever they are called of comparable size. I realize that the goodyears are street tires but they would be my second choice after the nittos. I still want to be able to handle well with the drag radials (do they hurt handling at all?)

The DR's you will feel at first kinda sloppy but you get used to it pretty quick. Anything under 70 is pretty easy at high speeds I don't trust them as much for handling...
