Default which tires for 9x17/11x17 Kinesis?

hello gang, I just bought a new set of rims and I am unable to make up my mind on which shoes to go with. What tires are you guys running? Would like a real sticky summer tire that isn't going to make me lose my lunch if it rains. I'm also thinking of selling the BBS RS 8x16/9x16 alloys, which run true if anyone is interested.

I'm planning to go with that size or maybe a 1/2" wider on both wheels. I'll be using 255 and 315 tires. I see some people go with 275 fronts but I'm worried there may be fender rubbing problems. I'm also hoping I can adjust out any understeer with sway bar adjustments and/or rear helper springs. I'm planning to use the goodyear tires. They seem to be rated well for street tires. I haven't heard how they are on the track.

I heard good things about the Goodyears and Pilots for street, anyone using Yoko's? which Yoko sticks best on street. my car wont see any track time, just street. are any of you guys running 275s upfront and have rubbing issues?
