...and we are both also out in CA.

I've run 275/305, 275/315 and 295/315 front/rear and I like the 275/315 pair the best - both looks and handling. I've never had the car understeer and I don't think that it needs any more rubber than a 275 in the front.

I've run Nitto NT01, NT05 and Toyo R888R on this car.

The NT01 were worth a couple/few seconds a the track (100 TW vs 140/200 TW of the NT05) and had noticeably more traction under braking.

R888R are more widely available so I've been running them - they feel similar to the NT01 but 'maybe' take a bit more to get them warmed up.

I've driven/tracked the Nitto NT555 (but not the G2) on another car and they are great as an all-around tire- for a car that was not as track-focused as my car is now. If I were to have a dedicated set of 'street' tires/wheels I'd use the NT555 G2.
