Default will these hook??

mods in sig, currently have 275/40/17 Nitto DRs and im worried they arent going to hook in 1st or 2nd with the new cam on the street. Im wondering if i should step it up to a 275/40/17 Mickey or even the 295/45/17 mickey. Opinions plz

those gears plus a decent cam and tune, traction is always gonna be a little ruff on stock suspension. just upgrade wheels to something that holds a 315 M/T

i know its going to be ruff, but when i got the gears i had BFG KDW with the flame patter and right on the nose at 3500 the car would pitch sideways and cover the intersection in smoke. I dont want this to happen with this cam and im goign to need to put tires on it before i have the motor broken in so i can hammer it on my old nittos to see if they work. Id rather not go to mickeys right away if i dont have to
