Default Sticky tires

Im wanting a nice set of sticky tires for my car to run on the street. Im currently running the stock 245s on chrome snowflakes. I want the widest stickest tires for my rears that will fit my snowflakes. Can anyone suggest any?

He said he wanted the "stickest" tire for a 16" rim.

Honestly dude we can't help you with the info you have given us. You have not told us enough. As tires get stickier, you lose tread life and wet traction. Its up to you how much you are willing to give up to get grip. We can only tell you our experiences with specific model tires.

Its cool its my bad I was just wondering if anyone else had bought any e/t streets or anything else just for the stock snowflakes and which ones they bought. Not worried about wet traction seeing as how the car never sees rain was just looking for a good set of rears i guess that would hook the best on the street instead of spinning all day for the stock snowflakes.

Im running ET streets on my stock 17s and they are badass. I have not ventured into the wet and I don't plan on it. But they have done everything and more in the dry that I have wanted them to.

Here's a couple of threads for you to check out:
