Tires for a 1LE

I am hesitant to switch to any tire besides OEM because I know they are 1LE specific and that is what the engineers designed to go with my car.
But I also know the engineers didn't design my car to be making 550-600hp.
Given the increase in power what are your thoughts about switching over to the R888R?
She is my daily but I'd really like to have some more straight line traction.

are you going to be dragging it or road racing or just daily driving it?

Watch the traction control. The tires actually break loose enough at the top of first to have it kick in.
