I am looking at the Drag Radial 315/35/17 on the rear 245/45/17 on the front Discount Tire seems to have the best price including free shipping but I sure would like to see the tire up close I think that they will work good on the little car I am open to any other suggestions I have Michelin Pilot sx's on there now and they are just too hard of a compound and I would like to go to a little smaller tire on the rear I have 335/35/17's now and the overall ride is really hard and I think it has a lot to do with the tires that are on there now I think something softer would improve the ride At least thats what I am Hopeing I am open to any suggestions Except painting it Yellow

I've got Nitto DRs on the back of mine. I like 'em. Good grip and not too scary if you get caught in rain. ('course your little car will just fill up with water, so rain on the road may not be your 1st priority.)
I've heard that Mickey Thompson and BFG Drag Radials are much stickier, but at the expense of any sort of wet traction whatsoever.
Have you talked to Rick L? I believe he's tried some different DRs. Plus, he found a smokin deal on Nittos last year. Don't know if he still has that connection or not.
For what it's worth, these are them:

Dennis, this may not help you alot but I have been replacing my Nitto INVO'S every summer via a local tire store in Colebrook, NH- Northern Tire (603-237-8105), www.northerntire.com.I am looking for someone locally that sells Nitto's I will even travel to Mass if I have to I don't want to buy them on line I would like to look at them before I purchase them Anyone have any suggestions thanks
They have the latest tire replacement tools for the larger wheels and take great care not to damage your wheels when installing the tires. I also have used them to sell my old nitto tires each year after installing the new ones.
If you call ask for Brian La Perle, he's the owner. You could also, ask him if he knows of anyone in your area that sells Nitto tirs.
I hope this helps.
