IMO you don't want a drag radial then.......The nitto 555rII were designed to have better cornering feedback and stability than the 555r's, but only come in a few sizes. You would probably be better with 555's if you want nitto's. BFG kdw's are tough to beat in dry or wet conditions and wear very well. They come in a 285/40/18 that will preserve the stock ride height. Falken makes a 295/40/18 which is just slightly taller than stock. They are a soft tire and wear quickly but are supposed to be pretty sticky once warmed up.

The Falken AZENIS RT-615 might not be bad, decent price as well. Their "UTQG" is 200 for treadwear, and AA for traction. Anyone know exactly what the 200 means? I read that it means it will last twice as long as a 100, and 1/2 as long as a 400 in theory, but what would a 200 get in terms of mileage (no burn outs), could I expect 15,000 miles out of it? If I could get 15,000 miles out of it, that would last me about 1.5 years, as I put on about 10,000 miles a year.
