You will need the extra grip provided by Avons, GY Billboards, or possibly drag radials to put all the torque that your 511 FE will be making to the ground.

If you put cheap tires on the car you will be frying the tires--from first through third gear; and the car could be downright dangerous to drive (if you want to stomp on the loud pedal).

Spending the extra money on better tires is an investment in the performance and safety of your car.
