Tires
I own a 2008 base with 609whp. What is everyone’s recommended tire for grip? Currently have Michelin pilot sport cup 2’s 305 30zr19 and spin through first and second. I need a good tire that will hook in first and second gear. This would be for street use not drag racing or auto cross.

... a streetable tire
... that can prevent wheel slip in *first* gear when plying 609 WHP to an unprepped surface
... and is only 305mm wide
... and that is much stickier than the already very sticky MPS Cup 2's on the car?
An interesting take on the forward bite of the MPS4S vs the MPS Cup 2: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a3...-acceleration/
