Default Best tire in a 255/45/18

Hey guys. I'm about to purchase new rear tires (for the fourth time). I've always put the factory 235/50/18 BFG KDWS back on the factory 18 by 8.5s. I want something wider and stickier but drivable. I can't find a drag radial in a 255/45/18. Any suggestions?

I have Sumitomo HTRZIIs on mine. They're pretty cheap and autocross well. With 12,000 miles on them and three events it looks like they still have over half their tread. The HTRZIIIs are pretty much the same price.

Nitto555's are available in that size which btw are the perfect size for those rims. You don't want a drag radial for driving around town unless you are not worried about tire wear. In that case I'd go with MT ET streets.
