Yup, 315/30/20 is a sweet spot. Too bad many tire options aren't manufactured in that size, including the Nitto 555RII or the Michelin Pilot Super Sport.

Took her off the trickle charger and went for a drive after a month of pause as I had been out of state. What a freaking fantastic car, it's crazy how good it is to drive even after 6 years.
