Default Stickiest dry weather DOT tire in 315/35 or 30/18 non drag rad.?

Other than the BFG drag radials which are great sticky tires but life on them is miniimal. I will need to replace my 305/35/18 Nitto R2s soon, and although these have been great tires i would like 315s and something a bit stickier in a straight line for the street to handle my new SUPERCHARGED POWER.

How about the new P Zero CORSAs or any other tires out there like TOYOs, KUHMO, but must be 315s in 18s to fit a stock rear 18 x 10.5 Z06 rim.

Yes, my name has been changed from MTI 427 ROADSTER to bring in the new and get rid of the old!!!!!!

You make me laugh..............will be tough to find the perfect tire you search for grass hopper!
Yokohama's ADVAN A048 sound good..........
Nitto NT-01....probably rough ride on the road though




With only a 315/30 to chose from its VERY narrow band...........
I don't want anything less than 26" myself......with a 3.73, 3500 stall and 500 rwtq
