    I run 275/55 in the front and 305/50 in the rear with my drop.

    Yokohama Parada Specs are like $170 at my local Discount for the 305/50

    I like 285/50 they are low pro but not too low. They are wide but not too wide. I had good luck with tires called Wanli they hold up good and handel good but there pretty cheap i think you can still get them on ebay.
