if u want a tire that hooks go with the bf goodrich drag radial 315-35 18 or the 335 - 35 - 18 that tire will hook on the street or the strip but they suck in the rain ,also the treadwear will last ,if your lucky 10,000 to 15,000 miles .the nitto 555r is the other alternative for the c5 them are the only 2 tires that i will run for the rear , & i run kuhmos in the front
