Default best 315/30 R18 tire for DD

after almost dying cause my car hydroplaned this weekend, i have decided that i need new tires in the rear. I love the look of the 315's i have right now: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=8
but i dont know if these are best for my daily driver. obviously i woudl prefer not to have a drag radial or a competition tire (even though thats what i have now). Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Also let me know who has them at the lowest price if you know. Thanks

falken azenis rt-615 is a comp tire but is has a treadware rating of 200 to meet scca requirements...



Available in a 315-30-18.

I dont think discount tire has that size and i know tire rack doesnt but maybe if you call discount they will special order them for you if you want them..

They are around 300$ ea from all other places and if you look on tire rack youll see that the bfg drags are the only tire under 300 and those other tires are all much more or competition tires..

Yup. They're certainly not cheap.
