#'s in sig Sumitomo love them! Best thing i did for traction was lca relocation brackets
Winter i run
Sumitomo HTR+ Ultra High Performance All-Season
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=2
When i was in hawaii i didnt need all season i ran these
Summer area
Sumitomo HTRZ II Ultra High Performance Summer radial they were great traction! But put them in cold weather

Next time i will buy these. tred design looks better and they are only $71
Mastercraft Avenger ZHP All seasons
http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/reifenb...116721&dsco=35
I had 2 BFG T/A's donated to me for burnout and i drove on the for a day and they sucked compared to my Sumitomos! From a roll 1st,2nd,3rd gone that fast! With Sumo's 1st spinning little/light, 2nd quick sideways then grabs 3rd bark and gone! Not with BFG's T/As t was like being in the rain! sumitomo's are a cheeper softer compound so they grip good for me! I got a 1.9 60ft with the Sumitomo HTRZ II Ultra High Performance M6 car stock 3.42 gears

Im running 295/35/18 Kuhmo MX's on mine... 434rwhp and they get pretty decent traction. There pretty soft tires. But im getting 3.73's installed as we speak so that mite change it a little
I am running BFG KDW2's. Rears are 295. Traction is pretty good. 1st gear is useless if I am in boost, 2nd is not bad if I ease into it. 3rd is hold on & enjoy the g-forces! 
The car generally feels more planted in corners and such with these tires. But they are all wider than my stockers were and new (I had worn the last set of tires almost bald so they were slippery).

My '01 has 275/40/17 BFG KDW's all the way around. I made 403 rwhp with my setup last summer. I'm up a little since then, but not a great deal. The BFG's really hook well with my stock 3.42's. I bark the rears in 2nd and 3rd, but no massive spinning. My '99 runs 315 BFG drag radials. They hang with my 408 and 4.10 gears well. I have had great success with BFG's...my '06 F350 runs six them. Spend a little money and get a quality tire.
