Default D/R with all stock car?

i just thought id share the deal i got locally on some new tires. first off, this is my first sports car period.It is all stock except for a mrt offroad h-pipe/ravin mufflers/roush short throw. Should i change the way i drive since i got a new set of rims/tires? im not sure how much of a difference the nitto 555 extreme drag radials will be? i dont wanna hurt anything is what im tryin to say. I usually baby the car, but then theres that one moment after leaving a stop sign or something that i just lay into it and i dont wanna have to go pick up my rearend or something if these tires are gonna grab alot harder than the stock bullits with fuzion 245/45/17. the deal i got was:
2-17x9 chrome bullits with dunlop tires on front
2-17x10.5" deep dish chrome bullits with nitto 555 extreme d/r
ALL FOR $700/ SLIGHTLY USED!

Heated up DR's + Redline Clutch Dump = only problems..lol

even then, with Nittos, it's unlikly you'll have enough power to blow the differential apart.

Enjoy!
