Alright, just a couple more quick questions from me...I think that's about all I do

Ok, i'm looking for some new tires, currently i'm running 225/45/16's on the pony wheels. They're Nitto 450's. I was fairly pleased with the grip, but considering I haven't had another tire on there, i'm not sure what is considered good or bad. I also noticed when i rotated my tires, that the two rear tires were cupped and the center rain channel completely worn off. I'm thinking of maybe going with some Nitto 555R DR's on the back, not sure about the front. I was also wondering what's the largest tire i can fit on the pony's without possing a rubbing problem, or maybe just run the same size... Oh yeah, according to my mileage I've gotten just a little over 20k miles on these tires from being bought brand new, mostly daily driven, but raced whenever possible.
