Default Need new tires soon, and want more traction.

I am going to get some new tires in the spring hopefully. Right now I have 245/50ZR16 bridgestone potenza in the front and some fuzion zr-i in the back. and their on the oem chrome option rims that came with the car.

I really want some more traction and was wondering if i could get semi slicks in the back and some potenzas in the front. or if i could get a tire with more sidewall to get some more traction. My car is my daily driver but i will not need to drive it in snow or ice. please reccomend me some tires to get more traction that will fit, thanks for the help!

If you dont want a drag type tire, I would go with the Eagle F1 GS-D3 Tires. Also BFG makes some pretty good hookin tires as well. But I know that the GS-D3 hook decent and does excellent in the rain as well as having a good treadwear. Just my .02
