need new tires

i have the v1 track 18" rays...8.0 up front and 8.5 rear.

i am looking for a low profile tire with medium grip that will be run strictly in dry weather.

what tire sizes and brands are out there that would suit my needs?

thanks in advance for any suggestions

I personally like the yokohama advans on dry road. quiet and handles very well.. too bad they wear very quickly. there's a couple of threads out with new ratings on tires. I suggest searching for them

That's plenty of $ for the best tires in 18" for stockish sizes:

Dunlop Star Spec
Kumho SPT
Michelin PS2
BS RE11
BS SO2
BS RE760
all quickly come to mind. . .
