Default Best Tires for Traction

I know this has been discussed before, but is there a consensus on the best tire for traction? The nitto drag radial has been recommended here before, but what about an all around tire for drag racing and street driving? In 18 inch, what is the consensus?

I'm using the Nitto...no comparison to stock. I'm not as comfortable on a high speed corner though. I have not minded them in the rain at all unless there is a lot of water pooling, in which case the F1's were terrible too.

So, judging my the two responses I received, there is really no clear cut consensus on this?
