Nittos are awesome for street driving...get some 555Rs for the back and some regular compound 555 Extremes for the front.

Plus, they look very aggressive as well.

If you want cost effective performance, Kumho. There is nothing comparable.

he's right.
but my kumhos wore really quickly when they got to a certain point.
they lasted for about a year, and then BAM, all of a sudden they were toast.

I love my Yokohama avs db s2 tires
i will have those on my car for as long as i own it.

didnt like bridgestone, they didnt stick
didnt like nitto, they DO NOT last
didnt like goodyear... cheaper, similar to the bridgestones.

please remember i use my car as a dd.

My Mustang is my DD and I am running the BFG G-Force KDW tires (275/40R17) and I've been happy with them for the 6 months that I've had them on.
