I got caught in a downpour while going cross country in Missouri with a brand new set of BFG TA Radials I installed in SoCal just before the trip and it was a handful keeping the car between the lines and going straight. Sometimes it's the storm and not the tire. Here's photos of the Toyo and three versions of the Nitto 555. I run the 555R but I see that they also now have a 55RII that has a little less tread, and finally a 555 that looks to be a nice sticky street tire.

Anyway, none of this answers the question of what sized tire, but waiting to see what Adecco is now running and the clearance to the wheelwell molding.
