Tirerack doesnt show anything good for 245/55 tires... can i not run 255/45 or any other combination?

Nittos are probably a good choice for your 18" wheels.

No reason to get anything softer unless you're going F/I.

I believe these will. Someone else might have more experience though.

Nitto Motivo 245/55R18 103W BSW

Even w/ a nitrous shot you shouldn't have that much of a problem w/ traction. The F/I guys at the fest last year were all on street tires and did just fine.
