stock tires have been known to blow the stock rear. im guessing this is a daily driver. the nitto's are the smallest of 315s. they have decent hook on the street and strip. if you want strictly a street tire i run goodyear GSD-3's quite expensive but look good and excellent rain tire.

I got BFG dr's and couldn't be happier. They hook awesome, I had nittos before and i didn't care for them much. They say you don't get much treadlife out of the BFG's but mine don't seem to be wearing at all.

the gsd-3's will run you close to 700 a set. expensive yes. but those bfg DR hard a man's worst day in the rain. once they have some use on them you will not be able to go much past 55mph on the freeway. many ppl will agree they are def a great street tire for hooking but one of the worst rain tire.
