Default In need of new tires

So, I need new tires because of camber wear and I'm calling out all the tire guru's. Note that tire flipping is not an option. What are the best tires for the s2k on Voxx Monza 17"x7" wheels? I think it's much better to hear opinions from people who have used various types of tires before. Website reviews aren't enough for me. Good experiences, bad experience, etc. Currrent tires are Raptor Riken 215 fronts and 245 rears. I heard that 255 are as wide as rears can be on stock fenders, is this true?. I need wheels hopefully by tomorrow.

It would probably help everyone if you could talk a little about what kind of driving you do: daily driving, autox, track days, etc.

FWIW I just ordered a set of Dunlop Z1 Star Spec because it had good reviews and fit the type of tire I was looking for, granted I'm on OEM AP1 wheels.

I DD my car. I push my car's limit though. I'm looking into tracking it pretty soon as well.

You have a 7" rear wheel? If so, max tire width is 245 and that is pushing it. That's a serious downgrade from the 8.5" stock rear. You can easily run wider than 255 on stock rear fenders, but only with a wheel that has proper width/offset.
