The 555's are great for a DD as well a some agressive driving as well. They don't hook like a DR, but they do quite well all around.

I wouldn't think the tires you choose would have anything to do with breaking your rear end. hard acceleration and 300~ rwhp is what will mostly affect it to my knowledge. Now I have heard about larger rims adding weight and causing problems with the tranny. But not the tires.

slicks can make quite a bit a difference
