Ive been using firestone wide oval (now they do not make rears) and since that happened ive worked my way over to the firestone indy 500 summer tires.
used with 8.5-9 / 32 they sell on ebay for about 50 bucks each for fronts.
United tire on ebay had a bunch of new take off 235 50 18 for 110.00 for 2, so i bought a few sets and have them on 2 of my cars. What a awesome tire so far!!

I still swear by my rear Nitto 420’s. Great traction wet or dry and I have well over 30,000 miles on them with SEVERAL miles of burnouts! They are all but bald now and wore 100% even across the tread.
As for the fronts I installed a set of Nitto 850+ a few years back and still have excellent tread, wearing even, and stops on a dime in wet weather. They were marketed for large European sport sedans. Unfortunately I don’t believe they make them anymore.

I was well pleased with wear/use of Nitto Motivo in stock sizes. They are made here in GA.

They really are but I work at my dads used tire shop and I had these in stock so I slapped them on. The car had nitro motivo in back and bf Goodrich comp 2 when I got it but I wanted to put on the Firestone’s since they all matched. They were used but had at least 90% tread all the way around.

The rear tire size is getting more popular so there is a lot more choice than there was even a few years ago. A Tire Rack search showed 40 matches on the staggered MM sizes with some of them being the best tires you can buy. My personal new favorite for best bang for your buck is the General G-Max AS-05. They're quiet, ride well and handle great rain or shine.
