    A friend of mine is running Yokohama A032R 205/50/15 on his spider.  He 
claims they are great in the rain.  I guess the soft grippy R compound sticks 
well.  Plus the tread design may look funky,  but look at the tires on a lot 
of cafe racer motorcycles - same tread pattern.

 I would recommend ditching the Nitto's.  They may look cool, but NT-450's
 just don't have the grip of other performance tires.  Might be better off
 with Yokohama/AVS Intermediate's or something.  Tire rack has AVS
 Intermediate's for $77 sized at 205/50 15.  If you don't mind low tread life
 and tire noise, you could go all out and get Yokohama/A032R at 205/50 15 for
 $134.  Just don't drive in the rain.
