Mostly straight line traction. But it is ultimately a street car, so it will be on the highway and off ramps which is why I'm looking for something other than a drag radial. I dont care about how many miles I get out of them. Cost is not a major concern. Car will maybe see 2000 miles a year or less. The nitto nt05 seems ideal but then I'm putting a 275 tire on an 8 inch rim. (I've done this with a DR but not my every day set up)
I've read many threads regarding tire compound being more important than width. Seems like ideal size would be 255/45/17 but they dont make a nt05 in that size.
Car is a bolt on 5 speed if that matters.
