Depends on how much you're willing to spend. If you're on a budget, Firestone Indy 500's are the best bang for the buck. If you got the money, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

you got too much power, compromises. you got a pre lci, i would go 295 rears, which is a somewhat common size with wide selection in 18. just leave traction on and go ez in the wet. michelin summers are pretty good in moderate wet.

I am stock msport ride height and suspension. 255 rubs a tiny in front fender corner only. 8.5 et35 front, 9.5 et35 rear 255/275. not sure what coilover, rim and ride height factors in your situation
