It will be hard to get good traction on the street with that kind of power period.
But if your looking for a good stickey tire I would reccomend M/T ET radials. I had them on my car for a year and they were great BUT do wear down fast.

Nitto DR's is also a good choice and are fairly priced.

315 on a 10.5' rim will not rub and fits.I have a car at the shop now (95 vert lowerd) and is perfect.The 315 is an expensive tire for sure.The 275/40/17 is a good tire for 400rwhp.I would use them if buying a 10.5 rim and 315 is too pricey...
