I need HELP, BIG TIME!!

Ok heres the scoop, one of my tires started shreading so now i need new tires.

I need to know what are the absolute BEST Tires for performance n daily driving that MONEY can buy? Im not looking for a bang for my buck im looking for the best possible tires i can buy, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Ive done lots of searching and i cant seem to get one straight foward answer.

The only thing I do know is that ill probably be going with 245 for size so it fits snuggly on my stock BBS Rim. Anything bigger will probably stick out (255) so im gunna stick with 245, for now. Unless someone gives me an AMAZING 255 tire.

I need a tire that will somewhat last me more than 10k miles, but will grip really good on the drag strip!

And I need to order these tires TODAY! I cant drive my car untill the new tires are on, and as of now my car is sitting at Mitsubishi.

Someone PLEASE HELP!

Remember, Money is no object when it comes to the tires im going to buy, so let me know what the BEST is!

Thanks!

Update, These 2 tires really stand out to me. Any imput on these two would be awsome.. Thanks!

Yokohama's or Nitto's. But I don't know much about tires that cater to drag strips. I don't prefer straight lining this car.

If you're expecting to drive your car in all conditions, including snow and rain, I would recommend a set of Falkens. I have used both the Azenis and the Ziex and they have been great in all driving. I have had no problems with them holding the road and if you're interested I can hook you up with my guy I got them from. I found him on eBay and he's got an awesome price.
