Default Need new tires!!

I have been running nitto invos on my z06 for about a year and there already worn out. They really dont hook for anything either. I need a tire that will fit my vossens and be about a 315 size. Right now I have a 305 25 20. No DRs and must be able to take rain. Any recomendations?

Try Michelin Pilot Sports or Hankook Ventus V12. Both good tires.

I have about eight feet on my Hankooks as I just rolled them into my kitchen from the UPS truck. Can't comment on the quality just yet but have heard (I hope correctly) good things about them.
