I think most who are complaining about traction with street tires with a 580 hp engine just don't know how to drive a 580 hp car on street tires.
No 11 inch wide street compound tire will hook a 4100 pound car on the street with 580 hp. At the strip, a drag slick will help get you a good sixty foot time which translates into quick ET. A drag radial will produce a slower sixty foot time but better than the stock tires. MPH will be similar with good or poor traction at the starting line and will dictate your actual horsepower with a good MPH calculator that you can find online.
