The first problem is the catch 22 of a good gripping long wear long tread life tire. It really doesn’t exist. Since we put some extra power in our cars, there is really no option, just one or the other. A stock 318 should be able to spin street tires.
If your looking for a longer tire life, the higher numerical rating of something like a 400 tread wear, it’s going to be a true regular street tire that will hold no power.
For strictly street driving, I’m running Cooper Cobra’s. (245/60/15) on my ‘79 Magnum w/a 360/4bbl & 3.55’s. The car is a true street, everyday and where anytime car. No crazy driving and mega burnouts.
Ive also driven on but not owned the above Mickey Thompson street tires which I thought were pretty good.
