What the better choose?

I need to buy new tires soon for the rear what would be the better chose. My car is not a daily driver I know both of them are not good in wet conditions. Not really worried about tire ware. Car is making 400+ rwhp. This is what happend to my tire last Sunday.

NITTO NT555r 315/25/17 or

MT ET Street Radial 295/45/17

Definitely the MTs!

What size rear rim do you have? 17x11?

295 would be a bit wide for your stock wheels. 275/40/17 would be better suited.

It stock size. I know rim a little to small but its recommended on a 9.5 whats .5. 275 is the right size tire for me but I have 285 in right now and I want the wide like until I can get my rims widened.
