Default 295/50r15 Hankook Ventus vs 295/50r15 MT Sports S/T vs 275/50r15 Nitto 555R

Just getting an opinion on these tires for my situation! I have a Supra making probably around 350-400whp through an auto. It's going ot be a daily and I drive a decent amount.

The nittos should fit no issue and have about factory height, but I'm not sure I can afford spending 400$ in tires every year in a half.

The other two will probably require a fender roll, but will last significantly longer than the nittos as well as safer.

I figured you'd guys know more about these tires than supra forums. Let me know your opinion and if I even have any business riding on a dot drag radial on a daily car. But it would be great to beat people right off the line!

The 555R will last a good 15k if you don't abuse them all the time. You'll drive that much in half a year?

Year and a half. I'm hoping to sell my daily prius when I get my car running again. But I'm currently doing food delivery, and not sure if I want to bother getting another job right now since it's a super easy job. Some reason having those nittos I feel like I'd stress over it too much even though 15k isn't too bad. But it's still 400$ a pair.

I feel like 27.5" 295 width tires would hold my power easily? Especially since I'm not making v8 torque on the low end.

I've had another idea as well just putting shitty tires on my oem wheels and swapping them out when I go tow ork, but I just hate saying I lost a race cause of something, rather just be good to go whenever!
