Default Need help on tire selection

Hi everyone,

I have a 2k z28 with the eibach lowering springs (~1.25 lowered) with the 10 spoke SS 17x9 rims. On the front, i have Kumho V712 ecsta supra 275/40/ZR17.
What would be a good spec for the rears? I'm looking into getting the pair for both DR and daily driving. Thanksfor your help

BTW, hows the Kumho V712 Ecsta Supra ?

Why are you looking at dr's for daily use? I don't get it. If you want some great tires go for pilot sports. They cost some bucks but any one who seems them knows whats up. plus they push water out. I hope your in a southren state to run dr's

So i should just get the same size with the front ? I was looking into Nitto DR's in the reae but i DD my ride. I live in california, i see snow but will never see snow. How feasible is that ? Thanks in advance.

I vote GSD3 in rear. About the same grip as the Nitto DR in daily driving and in rain. So very good.
