Gotta agree, I'm surprised people are running BFGs on the street, makes the car get squirrelly hitting uneven roads, or turns or highway, and especially if you get caught in rain its like driving on ice (in FL you can go from nice and sunny to storming quickly). It would be pretty annoying driving the Viper all the time on BFG's and taking corners like an suv or drive aggressively if nobody is around (except for straight line). I'll never forget the time my buddy and I got stuck in a storm in his GTS with BFG's.

I am in the same boat here. I considered BFGs but I really don't want to lose the cornering.

I may go with a set of Nitto drag radials in 335 vs the 345 BFGs (cornering should be better) but I hear they don't hook as well as the BFGs.

I was going to order the Sport Cups, but since they discontinued the 18" rears (345/30/18), I'm now looking at the Toyo R888 (100 wear rating):
