Not to thread jack, but to the folks out there making 500+, wtf tires are you running? Id at least like to have 3rd,4th,5th - anyone have experience with the Nitto 555r? Anyone think the 555r in a 245/45/17 would hook 3rd with 500whp?

drag slicks are not legal for public roads...some drag radials are not legal for public roads.

(in general)
slicks have a thinner sidewall and no tread
drag radials have a stiffer sidewall and tread

you possibly crashing your car...the side wall is very flexible and therfor unstable for normal driving, they are also easily punctured.

Falken Azienas are probably your best bet for a street legal tire from what i understand. good lateral grip and good rotational grip.
