Lol...Travis....when you ride with me your gonna get bounced around !
That run looked cool...but the camera view is a bit wacky. Try something lower and without all the clutter in front.

That seems to be the consensus on that particular view (only me and a few people liked it). I wanted some footage of what I'm supposedly looking at while still being able to see the course and what my hands were doing. I haven't tried my old camera mounting spot with the GoPro so I'll be trying that for the next event.

Travis,
You need to figure out what you're going to use the tires for. Are they strictly for the street? Are they strictly for the track?
Each tire brand runs a bit different from the next. My Nitto Invo runs a bit wider and will bulge compared to the same size tire in other brands so there would be a different look.
It's really nice to see everyone suggesting wider tires as opposed to a super stretched hellafu@%ed skinny tires, but you really don't need a 275 on a 9" up front.
If you go with a 40 series tire then I would do the 245/275 combo. If you run a 35 series tire then maybe a 255/275 combo. Let's remember though, you just got different springs to lower the car a bit more to kill wheel gap. Running a 35 series is going to defeat that purpose. Also, I've recently switched from a 35 series to a 40 series and it is a much better ride on the street. My track tires next year will be 35 series, but I'll be sticking to a 40 series on the street.
It's all about figuring out what you need from the tires. You're going to get plenty of suggestions and opinions, hopefully based on experience and quality evaluations. That's the beauty of this forum.
A suggestion for a nice street setup - 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110. If you want to spend the money and go for something that will be great on the street and really good on the track then a good option would be the Bridgestone RE-11.

i looked at the Invo's last night, tread pattern kinda funky...when i bought the car, i didnt realize that they put ventus v4's on the back and v12's on the front... i just saw 4 new tires and i was happy. i think i am going to go 275/40 and 255/40 setup. the nitto's are just a little more than the hankook... but they would have to order vs have the hankook in stock.....

yeah i thought about that after i got back home.... kinda swaying me away from them

You shouldn't need to flip a tire if your camber is correct. 
If you just need daily driver tires go with the Hankook V12. They are a really good tire at a really good price and you can get them anywhere. I'm only running the Invo cause I snagged the front pair for almost nothing. I decided to buy new rears and I'm happy with the Invo. My car doesn't see daily driver mileage though.
That bumper is the Nismo V2.

i will only buy re-11's from now on - i like them a lot - they are crazy - and i don't think they are overpriced - but - they'll prob stop making in them because that is my luck -
i'm running 285 and 255 on the track wheels - re-11's
the works... they are setup for stance - so they don't count -
i love that front bumper - damnit - i'm going to have to buy that... crap

I am letting them go for 1100 with the tires that are on them.

I run a 265/285 set up for track and 255/275 for daily all on 9.5 inch wheels and I could honestly go wider. I'd be wiling to bet I could squeeze a 305 on there but it would be tight.

I'd like to try a set of those RE-11's...but I think they are i little pricey....as compared to the RS-3's or even the V-12's.
The UTQG rating is 180AA for the RE-11's Sounds like they are pretty grippy.
I would like to see how they compare to the RS-3's.
Why you selling them ? And what are the size's & color ? :dunno
