Default which tire, help me pick please

I have about 760RWHP so traction really isn't my main priority as i won't find a street tire out there to hook that. I am looking for a decent all around tire for the front and back. The tires have to match both up front and out back...that's a must, i hate mis-matched tires. Anyway, they are going on 17" WS.6 wheels, 17x9 (front) and 17x11 (back) The two tires i have narrowed down to are:

Goodyear GS-D3

and

Nitto 555 R (back) RII (front)

Rears would be 315's and the fronts probably either a 245/45/17 or a 275/40/17

Let me know what you guys think. This is a daily driver in the summer, so it will see rain. Please, with your experience and knowledge of these tires, let me know what you all would choose....Looking for experienced answers not opinions on what looks better, i'm looking for a good knowledged-based opinion on which tire will provide me with an all around good tire.

Thanks alot.

I would do 275 or 285 all way around. Try the BF KD's. I really like the firestone wide ovals! Good luck
