ive heard the 315s suck *****. im sure they will also

have you thought about looking at a drag radial like the nitto's? they wont last as long as a regular tire but they seems to hook pretty well.

i have another set of rims with m/t et streets on them for drag racing. i guess im mainly concerned with how they are for street use and the occasional autocross.

Not much traction at all.

A good performance street tire would be the Nitto NT-01, or Goodyear Eagle Supercar i think

I use HTR Z II and i love them! I have had kumo's,Fuzion's and i like these way more! In hawaii they hooked up ok but here in missouri they suck in cold weather! Its like it was wet outside! I can have it in 2nd at 15mph and kit the gas and it will blow the tires way! But that's in 15-40deg weather! If your somewhere warm they will be great! I replaced my front tires with the all season sumitomo and plain on doing the back the same when the ger burned down! If you go to tirerack you can compair tires! There will be a graph that show's wet traction,dry traction and more! So just go and compair brands
