Slicks! :)

If you want street tires - in my opinion, the Nitto 555R Drag Radials in a 275/50/15 is the ultimate tire. They fit on stock rims, look MEAN, and don't rub or anything. In fact they drive so well on stock rims, you can barely even even tell they're on the car during turns and normal driving.

Man those suckers can grip! Heat 'em up for 4-5 sec at the track, and you got yourself one seriously sticky street tire! WAY better than the BFG's in my experience, and they last twice as long. Wet traction in the rain is surprisingly good - they actually even grip better than my stock Eagle GT's. You will love those tires if you're looking for a street tire. If not - ya can't beat a slick on the track.

..just my 2¢
