Good Tires For FI?

most of the tires being listed off here aren't really gonna help much with straight line traction. You wind up being kind of at odds with yourself if you are looking for both. If you have an idea of how much you're gonna be using the car for each, we can probably better help you figure out a tire that will work.

bringing this thread back from the dead as opposed to starting a new one... (hint) my 305 michelin PSSs are WORTHLESS. I can spin 4th if I want it to. I really think the Toyo R888s may be the best of both worlds.. I noticed someone said the MT ET street, great tire however with that 30 series sidewall it may still not hook all that great. I definitely wasted money on my PSS's... anyone else have good things to say about the R888s? I drove my buddies boosted 350 with them and it hooked a lot better than my car but isn't making as much power.. Anyone else putting down 500whp+ have a tire recommendation that at least makes 3rd gear usable?
