Help me pick out the right tires

So i'm having a hard time pulling the trigger on some new tires. And thought i could ask for Zilvia's opinion on the topic.

I'm Looking for a 255/40/17 Tire for the S13. It's a weekend/fun only car that only sees a few thousand miles a year so tire wear isn't too concerning.

The setup on the S13 is a 2JZ-GTE, Automatic, Single turbo, 450whp 400TQ. Full boost about 3500RPM

Looking for a Tire that will hold the horsepower and is still a fun street tire as that is what the car will see 90% of the time, with a little drag racing duty and an auto-x or lapping event.

I've narrowed it down i believe to the following tires.

Bridgestone Potenza RE-11
Toyo Proxes R888
Federal 595 RS-R
Falken Azenis RT615K
NITTO NT01
NITTO NT05


Any other tires you could recommend? When i start reading reviews people talk more about lap times falling off, or tires getting greasy or hot. But i don't plan on strictly tracking the car. And there isn't a whole lot of information as to what tires hold horsepower down the best.
