Tire recommendations (mostly street - some track)

Not sure if this fits right in this section, but I have a GT and tires do help the performance...

I did a search and found tons of threads about tires but not much help on good tires to get. I was looking at the KDWs but hear they are loud and get louder as they wear. True?? If they are loud, are they worth listening too?

I was looking to pick up a set of the 18x9 Magnum wheels. I drive mostly street with a few runs to the track. I am spinning a lot on the stock tires (as is well known) and would like to upgrade the rubber while upgrading the wheels. What are other worthwhile tires? I see Nitto, but I think I drive a little too much street for them. And I am not looking to change my wheels just to go to the track so it would be something I keep on all the time. I also do not plan on driving in the rain or snow.

I've ran Nitto 555s for two summers and were great until I went FI. Now they're like ice skates. I'm going with Nitto 555r for next summer. The 555s have been great for me up to this point.
