Default need help choosing tires for 450+ hp

i need some help picking out some tires, this is what ive got on the car so far.
150 shot nx, pacesetters lt's headers with ory + 3 cutouts (2 on the ory and 1 on the i-pipe) lid, k&n.

i need some tires that will give me good traction, so that when i punch it i dont do a giant burnout before i finally take off.

this is for a daily driver also plus, i have a stock rear end & gonna be getting some subframe connectors.

yup. its pretty much up to u how often u wonna b replacing ur tires. people have been seein good results with BFG DR, but u will have to replace them sooner than w/ nittos. since ur drivin a lot tho i'd lean more towards those. if mileage isnt an issue, i dont think MTs would be a good choice if u have a stick. auto you could go either way.
