Looking into getting some new tires. Just looking for some opinions/options.

I've always been a big drag radial fan for the sheer traction advantage, Although the "fun" factor of being able to throw the car around curves and just have more then straight line fun is out of the question.

Looking into the
Falken Azenis RT-615K in a 275/40/17.
BFGoodrich G-Force T/a KDW2 in a 275/40/17. (always liked the look and feel of these)
Nitto NT-05 in a 275/40/17


Looking to stay in the 255-265-275 range for the rears. Looking to put down somewhere in the range of 450-480WHP and 420-460RWTQ. Or am i just going to need to go to a straight drag radial again.

Also, planning on 1 lapping even this year at Road America, so i'm going to need a pair atleast of said street tires,even if i get another DR.

I say Azenis for the grip, but I love G-forces... I been using them for the past 4 years.

BFG R1 or Yokohama AD08 if you really want sticky tires

I'm still a fan of Dunlop Star Specs...cant wait for the new ones to come stateside and try those out.

If you're allowed to run R comps...I'd rock Nitto NT01s. I drove those for a my daily for a while in Okinawa, I absolutely loved those things.
