Which tire is best? Need some stick!

[13 GT/CS]

My current setup for wheels is 19x9 in the front and 19x10 in the back. The tires are Mickey Thompson Street Comps and I don't get much traction so I'm looking for something a little sticker. The car isn't a daily and is only driven to events or for some fun with friends. My current tire size is 255/40-19 in the front and 285/35-19 in the back.
Ive heard good things about Toyo r888s, MT ET Street Radial II, and a few others I don't remember. I'm very limited because of my 19in wheels. Any input is appreciated, thanks!!!

If you want to keep good handling get the R888s. If you want to hook like crazy and don't care much about turning get some MT drag radials. I guess an in between would be an NT05R

Michelin Pilot Super Sport is a good tire to check out.

yeah if you're wanting to hook you can always get a drag radial tire. if you want to go another route, mpss's are a good choice also

It will be a little taller but my vote would be a MT or Nitto 305/35R19

NT05R nitto is what I'm going with next. I have the same mt steer comps atm, they're not great for digs. I have an auto and blow the tires off.

What type of driving do you do? Do you care about handling? Just about any summer or better tire will be loads better than the street comps.
