Default JTM & American Racing Headers

So I need some help. I sent my car out to American Racing Headers for headers, high flow cats and an X-pipe. They did a great job and did all they promised. A real professional outfit that takes pride in their work. I couldn't be happier with the job. Then I went to the other side of the building and met John and Matt from JTM Motor Sports. John talked me out of putting the cam and doing the heads on my really clen 03 converible vette. Instead they had me look at an A&A blower kit and adyno. The results were as promised 517 H.P. to the rear wheeels and 623 H.P. to the crank. They did an unbelievably neat and pro install and really took the time to do it. I was amazed at the attention to detail, Another group of real pros.
Now the problem. I got on the car and the HP is just too much for the tires. They are origional run flats as the car has 13k miles. Can I get some suggestions on tires. I'm thinking I want to get away from run flats. I've gotten good advice here before and I hope I will again.

Also it is an ECS supercharger. Not an A&A.
