Would those grip ok with around 475 - 500 whp?? I was thinking of going for BFG Drag radials on all 4 corners, but would like a tire that will last a little longer.

I'm in the same dilemma on which size to get, one thing I do know is that I am getting Falken RT-615's. I would say 245/40/18 would be good or another brand w/ 255/35/18 since Falken doesn't make the RT-615's in that size. As for it being able to hold the power, you have AWD which will help a ton and these tires are pretty sticky. If you're only drag racing go w/ the drag radials.

245/40/18 or 255/35/18?

Ohh, and I am getting the ROTA P45F soon. And you think it will affect my 1/4 mile times? I dont know if I need to keep my stock rims with good tires for track days or sell them.
