bf goodrich g-force kdw. i love mine, grab and go for sure. i had kumhos before and the tires broke loose in almost any gear, but the bfg's are awesome, no complaints, and a reasonable $$

Nitto 555 drag radials for the rear end. 315s.
Those are my next ones with some matching Nitto 555s up front.

i dont have any experience with the firestones or generals, but i worked at a goodyear store. the gs-d3's are nice tires, but way over priced in my opinion. and ive driven corvettes and fbodies with both. i dont think they hook up as good as the BFg's kdw. but i think that out perform the BFg's slightly in cornering and wet performance. but my car never sees rain so thats irrelevant to me. and another thing to consider is mileage, your prob only looking at about 15-20K miles out of the gs-d3.

What club are you with? Id like to try some autox with my car but I dont really have the slightest idea where to start.
BTW, I bought the car with kumho's...not sure what model off the top of my head. As mentioned above they do spin in several gears but Ive never had them slide in cornering with general street driving.

Nitto DR's will grab okay at the track.
I have cut a few 1.86's on them.
Although I only use them for street use now.
I love my Hoosier QTP's for the strip.
