M/T DR, 275/50/15 would probably be best for the street. There are a lot of factors to hooking on the streetlike temperature, smoothness/type of pavement, and psi/temp of tire. But I would give the M/T a try, it doesn't get too much better than that for a radial.

yeah the 275/60 would be better. The 325's would be the best but you would have to do some work to you inner finder well.
275/50 = 26 X 11.50R15
275/60 = 28 X 11.50R15 *
325/50 = 28 X 13.50R15 *
275/50 = 26 X 11.50R15
275/60 = 28 X 11.50R15 *
325/50 = 28 X 13.50R15 *

hopefully you have the suspension needed to hook. tires are important but the suspension is just as big of a factor.
my car puts down 452rwhp and does not hook if i get agressive on the throttle in D with my M/Ts and I have a decent suspension. wish i would have gone with the qa1 coilover setup.
