I will second the Nitto 555s, they are a great tire for the price. They corner very well and can handle rain no problem. I run them for front tires and tread wear has been excellent so far. If you are going to be driving the car in the winter you can't use them, but if you actually plan for the car to see snow you will need real winter tires, even an all season tire won't cut it.
I run the 555Rs for rear tires, but I only drive the Formula 2,000-3,000 miles a year. If you rack up the miles you won't get more than a year or two out of them, and they're not cheap. It's more than worth it to me because I want to be able to use all of the power, otherwise what is the point of having it? They do surprisingly well in the rain, just as good as an all season tire, and the dry grip is unreal. If you are launching a stalled sprayed car at the track they won't get it done but for street driving with a near stock car they are amazing.
