IMO....Nitto 555 is an all around good tire that wears very well..
I would go with 255/45/18 on 9" up front and 285/40/18 on 10" in rear.
These are good sizes that will keep your same overall diameter and therefore
won't affect your gearing. Nitto 555R drag radial's are alot stickier when warmed up,
but they can be a real Bi%ch in the pouring rain/pooling water..

I did a fair amount of homework when I got my new tires last month and finally decided on the Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

My car's away for the winter now but for the short time I had them on the road I was impressed. Much better then the stock BFG's

I actually borrowed a friends Michelin Pilot Super Sport for my rears like last week to try em out, only like 65 tread lol, but they were a lot better then my 70% tread stock tires.
