Tire help

[akrapovic]

I'm currently looking for tires for my incoming 18x8 and 18x10 wheels. I'm curious what tires are preferred. So far I have looked into Nitto 555, Bf Goodrich KDW2 and Bf Goodrich TA KDs. I realize that none of these tires will hook up like my MT street radials I'm running, but I'm looking for a tire that lasts longer. Which ones grip the best for straight line performance?

The sizes I'm looking at are 295/35/18 in the rear and 235/40/18 in the front for the Nittos and KDW2's. The TA Kds would be 295/35/18 in the rear and 224/40/18 in the front.

Thanks in advance.
