Default Tire help

I'm trying to figure out what nitto tires are best for me. My 04 zo6 will be getting some mods soon such as heads/cam/full exhaust and maybe even a supercharger or turbo. I need great straight traction but I still need it to handle like its lemans roots. I'm thinking either NT01's all around or 555R11. Maybe 555R11'S in back, NT01's in front? HELP.

How many miles do you drive a year, and in what conditions? I would say NT01s, Toyo RA1s, or PS Cups.

This car never sees rain or any bad weather. Maybe I drive this car 300 miles a month.
