Well, the radial is the same tire as stock (sorry, mistyped earlier) so thats not an improvement at all.

The KDWS is nice but nothing special.

As for nittos, there are tires that will fit but not 245s. My suggestion as far as nittos would be either a 255/55/18 nt420s (.3 inches taller than stock), or a 265/50/18 nt555 (.2 inches shorter than stock). Both are listed on nittos website as fitting on 7.5 inch rims.

Both will grip better than stock. The nt555 will be better than the nt420s but won't last as long. There are others that will fit as well in the 255/55/18 size. Pirelli P-zeros (same tires as the stock RS and SS but a different size) for example. Eagle F1 is another nice one in that size.
