Default My tire recommendation if you're close to buying.

I work at Discount Tire so I see pretty much every tire out there but one that I've never heard any complaint about is the BFG G-Force. It grips very well off the line, handles well in the rain, and has a better tread life than the Nitto 555's which seem to be a popular choice on here. Just thought I'd give you my two cents worth. I'm picking up a set of them to put on my Carroll Shelby wheels pretty soon
