Spirited DD honestly, and future "shop truck." My commutes outside of work tend to be a mix of highway and some fun twisties, so something that takes the mundane out of the road is helpful. I've had some track-ready cars in the past, like a GT350, so I can definitely discern something that handles well from something that doesn't, but my time for the track is definitely limited these days.

I'm happy with the tire selection available in that size range honestly. There are plenty in the 315/35/R20 range with everything from Nitto, Pirelli, Contis, and Super Sports. There are even some drag tires I have found should that call to me.

I'll probably start with some Nitto 555s to keep the budget in check for now though. But my tire guy will give me a heads up if anything goes on sale between now and when I order.

I ended up going with 20x12 in the rear with a 7.75" BS, and 20x11 front with a 6.75"
