I am trying to decide which tires to go with on my 500hp daily driver. I have a handling suspension and have it lowered 1 1/2. I was going to get the Firestone Firehawk SZ50's but have been told they no longer make them. Is this true? I see the Tire Rack still has them but not sure for how long... I am also considering the Kumho ECSTA Supra 712's, the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW and the Yokohoma AVS ES100's.

I drive rain or shine so wet traction is important to me. I would also like some input as to what size would be best. I have stock Pony wheels and am currently running 245/45/16 and 245/50/16 Nitto DR in the rear. I am thinking about going with a decent handling tire all around this time. Any and all input/suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!
