You guys need to check out savastires... They have the Nitto 555R Drag radials in 315x35x17 for only $160, wholesale is much less than that still though...
http://www.savastire.com/wheels_tires/nitto_tires.htm Just call them up and get a few price quotes, they are great, second set of tires, 2 days shipping, and they dont charge you for almost 3 weeks after ordering

If you have C/C plates, have them run little more positive caster. This gives you a lot more stability at high speeds. When I was doing some test w/ mine, I had the caster set to 4.75deg and at 120 mph it was like a rail. Also in corners, w/ more positive caseter it will actually push the rear tire opposite of the corner down a bit (transfers weight). Your car will travel a straigt line easier also because the car is actually at the bottom of U that the suspension will travel, which gives you stability at higher speeds. The downside of this is that when you steer your car while standing still, it become harder to steer and the front end will rise a bit. Your tires will wear on the outside if you do a lot of circles in a parking lot because it has a tendence to ride up on the edges. I backed my caster down to 3.75 deg. becasue I had some oval track tires on the front and w/ the positive caster set the way it was, it made a lot of noise. I really don't need 4.75 deg caster anyways. I hope all this made sense, I tried to explain everything so it could be fully understood. Any question, just post them here and I will try to better explain.
