Default Need alittle more grip.

Has anyone ran the nitto 555rs. I am trying to find a tire that I can get alittle more traction with. When I grab second in my car it just goes crazy. I still have a stock 10-bolt but I am building a 9-inch. I want to go ahead and get a set of tires and I can run that will not break loose at high rpms or spin to bad when I shift.

I wont be launching hard or anything for awhile...Just mainly going from a roll or easing it off the line.
