If you want traction, get rid of the 18's, plain and simple. No true street tire is going to give you any real traction drag racing unless your car has no power at all.

^^ This and those are pretty skinny tires arent they? LCA would def help as well.

The fatter the tire the better the traction.

255 isnt that skinny, if it was a 255 micky thompson et street or 555r you would probably be hooking up very well.
