If I had the mods you have, I would get 235/40/18 Nitto NT05's. NT01's would be even better, but they will only last a few months likely! lol. NT05's are designed to be the ultimate street tire. Google "Nitto NT05 review". Most reviews are very positive.

Falken RT615's are great street tires.

Yup, but they also wear out pretty quickly and they tend to "chunk" when used at the track. I read one review where the writer went from the Falken's to the NT05's and he said they were quite a bit better and they don't wear as quickly or chunk like the Falken's do.

Doc has the best suggestion. If you want something that will hook get some soft tires.
