Default Tire suggestions!

Okay , i just got put on the list by Derrick at D-2 for a set of 20/8.5-frt, 20/10-rr trial rims, so what i'm asking is, what is the best tire setup for ride, and comfort without any mods to the rear. I have the Tein CS lowered around 2 inches, and any brand or tire suggestion would be great. Also would this be a good tire setup 255/35-20 frt, 285/30-20 rr, i'm more concern about the rear banging on top of the fender when going over bumps.

I know a few members have had problems with the 255/35 tire in front. I know it depends on your offset so you may need to do some modding to the fender/fender liner. But 285 is a nice big tire for the rear. I have the T1R and they are an excellent tire. Finally got to use them in wet conditions and they performed flawlessly. Only problem is the biggest size they come in is 275/30 for the rear.

My vote goes for the Michelin PS 2's as well. I have had many other tire brands on my other Lexus's ( over 600,000 miles combined with 4 different vehicles) so I have been through a LOT of tires. These Michelins have been the best ones yet.
