Regardless of the tires, I recommend strongly staying out of boost in any degree of wet conditions, better yet, leave it in the garage if there is any suspicion of it getting wet....

Having said that, with what you have invested already, it's only a small expenditure (relatively speaking) further to get some form of quality traction control. I ran ProEFI on my 5th Gen, and it was amazing.... My street tires were the Good Year Eagle F1 Supercar G3's and I never had any issue on the street.... Granted, I couldn't put anywhere near full power down... It would dump boost, pull timing, or whatever it had to do to keep the fronts and rears spinning at the same speed.

There are other systems out there, but it is impossible to put full power to the ground on an asphalt roadway, not at your 900/900 power levels...

An option if you wanna harass with LEO's is the Hoosier Road Racing Slick I ran at the mile, with over 2000 RWHP. They are DOT stamped, though there is no "tread." Concrete track and I was still spinning at over 200 in 5th gear.... We loosened the traction control the faster we went to free up the power...

The trade off of big power is limitations on the street.... It isn't worth it to get sideways and end up wadding your car up.... I cant recommend a traction control device strongly enough...
