Default Shopping for DD Nittos..need some input

I'm looking for a sporty side profile tire that's good for DD abuse.
I like the http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nitto-NT05R-...af74f5&vxp=mtr and http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nitto-NT01-T...183d07&vxp=mtr and the http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nitto-NT555-...9b9404&vxp=mtr. Whats everyone running? Whats too extreme? Car doesn't see the track but I do launch stop light to stoplight occasionally. I also love the side profile look of a sporty tire.

I've got nt555s now, they've got a few years/miles on them and they are pretty good. Around corners they're awesome. From a dig they suck.

I'd say look into the NT05, not the drag radial. Tread lasts longer and better for daily driving imo. Also get the sporty look
