Default Tires slip

Hi guys, need some advise here.
Wanted to post the question for month, and finally remembered. I still have the stock tires on my Z, with only 10k miles on it, but I am frustrated by the way they handle. Thus far, I don't think I was ever able to give full throttle, or even close to it. Obviously in first gear it's a given than they will spin, but even in second and sometimes in third gear I get the silly light in my dash telling me to take it easy. What do I have 330 horses trembling under the hood, if only 200 are usable. I am assuming it's the tires, but I did not have the issue in NY, before moving to Texas. I guess the grip on asphalt (NY) was better than concrete (TX), but you would think the with or more wear would help with the traction.

Soooooo, since I doubt I would get much snow down here, summer tires instead of M+S would be better. Any advise in the southern climate on tire choice, for the hot south summer month?
