Just bought New Wheels: need tire opinions

[blacksnake305]

Hey All,

I just bought a set of Saleen 18 x 9" chrome wheels (with Nitto tires). The front two tires are brand new 265-35-18. The backs are worn out 275-35-18. I have two questions:
What is the widest tires i can go without totally killing 'handling' (I was thinking 285's).
Secondly, What tire should i go with? I want a tire that has good traction but i dont think i want Drag radials again.

thanks

I have been really impressed with the Nittos and have been through 4 brands total now.

I can't answer the "how wide" question, but I use the 275-40-17's on the back and i'm putting 245's on the front this time.
