Ride Quality on 17" Rear Rims w/ 305/45/17

Looking for information/feed back to see what others have experienced with 17" rims (I will be using bead locks) & either MT ET Street S/S or Nitto NT555RII tires.

Ride quality, straight line speeds, traveling at high speeds on/off ramps & cornering are what I am interested in hearing about. I am not speaking about road courses, this would be for some daily driving and spirited around town cruising. Are these tires safe/ideal to use for this type of driving or should they be more focused in a straight line. I'm going to have a 750+ rwhp ZL1 here soon and I am trying to plan out the rear setup.

Fronts will be 19x10 305/30/19.

Car is - 2017 ZL1 A10

Thanks

I recently went installed 17” Wheels in the back with a Nitto 555R2 in that size.
It feels like a regular street tire. No issues very comfortable over bumps and pots holes. It actually is very planted around corners and very confidence inspiring. I’m not sure why but I’m having traction issues hooking up in 1st gear from around 20mph. The car makes under 450whp. From a 40 and on tho it dead hooks. Maybe I need to break them in more but that’s my experience after around 200 miles on them. I have them set at 23psi
