285/40/18 nitto 555 or BFG KDW2s

good for daily driver. Check out the tirerack.com, they have all the learning tools to teach you about all things wheel and tire related.

If you are only going to drag or drive on dry roads, you could go with a drag radial.

In the grand scheme of things street tires are street tires. What you need are suspension modifications.

I would have to agree with rodeoflyer. Suspension bits will transform the car, but you will need tires too, as all that power has to go to the ground somehow. A bigger contact patch with the correct suspension geometry is a must unless you just like sitting and smoking the tires.
