Need HIgh Speed Tires for Supercharged new body style

Anyone with experience with some, I'd love to hear from you (Toyo Proxes, BFG G Force, General UHPs etc). I hate these 305/55./20 Toyo AT balloons and want something that will handle better. Bought them when I was going for an offroad look, but after supercharging and not lifting I changed direction. Now I want something that will add to non-winter driving perfromance. For winter, I use 18s and Ats. But I need a good high spped tire, smaller diameter, say 275/55/20 or sopmething around 30.5 - 32 " and no wider than 285 ish. Thanks!

Go to www.tirerack.com and search for tires in your preferred sizes.
Then look at their user ratings in comparison to other tires of the same type.

Also you may want to consider going to a 50 or even a 45 series tire if you're after maximum performance The 55 series is a compromises handling to get ride comfort. Below 40 and the gains in handling are totally outweighed by the harshness.

I have Toyo Proxes on my last car. I swear that thing would stick upside down. I loved my Toyo's.

I've ver happy with my Falken STZ/04's. I believe they are available in 275/55-20 and 285/50-20.

Another vote for the Yokohama Parada Spec-X. I have them and they are great. The Kumho STX's are a good tire for the money but are a little noisy. Toyo has a new tire, Proxys II.

Thx for the thoughts. Anyone know anything about the COntinetal Cross Contact UHP? They have a 285/50/20 that looks good. Very highly rated on Tire rack, but not Discoutn Tire. Thx
