Default Best Tires for Traction?

I just bought a 01 WS6 that had only 4k miles on it and it has the stock tires. They have a good amount of tread on them but I still have a traction problem...what are the best tires to upgrade to for more traction so I won't lose any acceleration?

nittos are nice but if you dont really care about wear and that get a set of mickey thompsons... best tire for traction bar none... also pry the worst for wear though

if youve got a 10 bolt go with nittos, enough traction, but not too much where it will break the rear every launch, although they have broken mine once.
