my car is a gst:notgood:but i love it, all i need is traction because my tires spin all the way trough 3rd.
im looking for the best grippy tires on the market but not to expensive to improve my traction, i want to know what tires are the best for launching on the street? we dont have a drag strip here.
i already installed tein coilovers ,solid motor mounts, lower the car more in the front that in the back, lsd all that helps me but i need more traction.

please i need help:pray: i want to find the best grippy tires on the street.
also im running stock 16s, right now but planning to purchase some 5zigen f01r 17x8
 
Well, I can tell you that they're NOT BFG Radial T/As. I hope you find the answer because I'd like to know as well.
 
Some good and all right price are the Falken Azenis. My brother got them at Vulcantires.com They hook up good after you stage them properly. Now you want better, well, go with Hoosier or m/t drag radials. There is also Nitto, Advan, Dunlop, and so on.
 
I really don't know about that specific tire but I can tell you that I have used the Dunlop sport 9000 and they really grip.
 
Im running hankook ventus RS-2's and they seem grippy as hell. I can't say how good they would be on fwd since mine is AWD, but they grip like crazy in the corners, even with shitty 1g suspension.
 
look into some cooper tires they are a pretty grabby tire, cause they are kinda soft so they wear down a little quicker, but for the price and traction I like them.
