i voted for "other" and ride on Riken Raptor ZRs...275/40/18. they were the cheapest tires i could find ($132 a piece) and hardly ever spin on the street, even with close to 400 rwhp. im VERY pleased with them thus far, and theyve been on my car nearly a year with hardly any wear so far.

Toyo T1-R 265/40/17 ft and 295/35/18 Rear love them 280 treadwear and very affordable. Will not buy another tire yet. Pushing over 600 rwhp with them.

I'm running Goodyear F1 GS-D3 275/40/17 & 315/35/17 now...before that I went through two sets of Yokohama AVS Sports in the same sizes ... The Yokohama tires had a very long life .. I mean they wore like iron..but they were not nearly as sticky as the Goodyears..plus the Yokos had a very large price increase too...

I just purchased the Falken 512 (tire size 275/40/17) from www.DiscountTireDirect.com
I'd rather have the OEM Goodyear tires but the Falkens only cost $416.00 for all four shipped to my door. The Falkens were difficult to seat, it took 120+ lbs air pressure before they popped and sealed on the OEM 10 spoke. I've heard that harder compound tires are more difficult to make pop on the SS wheel.
