315's are 12.4" wide, no one in their right mind would put that on an 8" wheel, 245 or 255s. You might want to look into getting some used SS wheels, those can fit 275s and are pretty cheap.

255 is the biggest you can put on safely

The m/t is a great track tire, but as youve seen, it will wear out quickly with those driving habits on the street. Go with the Nittos if you want more of a street drag radial.
