They only have a treadwear rating of 320, but so far so good. Tons of grip though.

do you want to run drag radials or street tires? I don't even know what brand of street tire most people run 315's on, LOL

for DR's - nitto and M/T's would be the best IMO. on your car, I would do nitto's

Go to ONLINETIRES.com and search for the size you want. It will give you plenty of options.
