    Run flats have stiff sidewalls allowing you to drive on them with no air. I would go with a different tire but anything too sticky will eventually kill the rear.

    -F1s were never meant for lateral acceleration..... cornering is more like their function.
    You should be on a drag radial of some kind.
    Width is not what provides lateral traction... Since those tires have very stiff side walls you can actually air the tires up to the proper operating pressure,do a small burnout then look at the tire you will see a small patch on the tire that has made NO contact with the street... measure that and that is the proper size for your car.
    Side note 315s do look killer

    Nitto NT555R Drag Radial for an everyday tire. they'll last about 10-12K miles, you can drive them in the rain within reason, and they work great for street use. Not so hot at the track, but they make for an awesome street tire.

    I work at discount tire and if u want best grip and still want to drive around then the nitto 555r is a great choice but if u want some more grip while kinda sacrificing rain driving then mickey et streets or the new nitto nt05r is one wicked sticky tire I have some guys with notches that just love theses tires. So that would be my to cents but run flats and throttle aka power. They do not like run flats treat is very rigged and stiff to deture nail and other things so run flats are no good lol

    yeah just used them becuse they were laying around I dont see much track time but unfortunly im still using a built up 10 bolt just need really good grip for street use so nt555r or nt05r be better?
