Default Most aggressive tread out there..

What would be the most aggressive tread for our cars? I have 18x10.5 out back and want something big and aggressive.

which tires would you guys go with?

I'm assuming you're not counting drag radials. I would recommend the bf goodrich kd's. I pulled a 1.829 60' with my 275/40/17's that had 3/32" of tread left. $238 per tire on tirerack but well worth it imo. The only downside is that they only last about 16,000 miles.

I went cheap... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

The guy sent them out the same day, I got them in 2 days. They get surprisingly good traction on dry pavement.
