Which kind of tires will best fit the Lamborghini LP...?( the best Lamborghini at the brand new dealership) btw it has 826 hp.
Also please mention whether it's sport, racing and whether it's soft, hard etc.

How about my 2008 BMW M5 which has 708 hp?? Also please be specific for this one too. Thanks
 
Tyres in increasing order of awesome:

comfort - hard
comfort - medium
comfort - soft
sports - hard
sports - medium
sports - soft
race - hard
race - medium
race - soft

It's the same for every car. The softer the compound, the greater the friction and the faster it heats up. More friction is more grip, but also more wear. Harder compounds take long to heat up and aren't good for short races. Harder compounds will heat up much slower if the track is cold or wet. Tires have to get to optimum temparature to grip, but if they exeeed that, they overheat and lose grip and can burn away. Cold tires grip less and you'll get understeer. Less channels on tires means more grip, more tire surface is in contact with road. Sports and race tires will aqua-plain more in the wet. Race tires are pretty dangerous in wet because they have no channels for water to escape.

You can get away with worse tires on lighter cars and cars with low horsepower. If your car is heavy it will wear down front tires faster, so you might want a harder compound that'll last longer. For 4wds, they tend to tear through front tires faster if you drift them a lot. If you got a high power rwd, you want softer tires to get good launches and acceleration. However if you slide a lot in high powered rwd, those will heat up and wear out fast, costing you grip.

So in the end it comes down to your driving style, wether you've unlocked tire wear, the number of laps in the race, wether you are using driver aids, track conditions and the car. It's a trade off deal. So in the end I can't give you a straight answer, too many variables. With that much power though, i'd probably go with soft race tires unless it is raining or you're sliding/spinning(the tires, not the car) a lot or you're doing a long race.

also for powerful FR, MR based cars you may want to put a harder compound on rear
so the tires can wear move evenly,
i did this for the LMP cars in the 24H lemans in GT4

but in GT5 you have less choice so you will need to test how this method will work, may make the car oversteer a bit
