It's time to get new tires on my car and I dont know what ones to go with. I already have Mickey Thompson ET Streets on my stock wheels for when I go to the Drag strip, and I am looking for a new set of wheels for the street in eather 18 or 19. So the tires I choose are going to be the daily driven tires and they also need to perform well on a road course because I am planning on taking my car to some track days. What street tire performs the best for traction?

Nitto 555 or BFG KDW2's are the general consensus. I've only ever used the BFG's, so I can't give a comparison, but they definitely hook. With my mods, I can't do a burnout unless I do a brake stand. They'll spin a little if I nail it from 4k, but they hook right up. The lca's and panhard bar help, too.
