How much power are you running? Sometimes, if you're making large amounts of power, no tire will help during the 1st to 2nd shift (even higher sometimes).

I was using cheapo Kumho Ecsta Supras because I'd roast them pretty quickly at 18psi.

Lots of people are running Falken Azenis. Good price and relatively good traction for the price.

its just in the rain when i break traction thru all the gears, im not making a crazy amount of power to constantly break traction on the dry road, its just that my tires are worn down to just about nothing and its time for a tire change, i just wanna see what some of the good tires out there are

azeni sports are great, but aren't exactly ideal for daily driving. such a low treadwear

i've got the yokohama avid h4s' and they seem pretty good. A lot better than the Falken Ziex's I had and the Avid's are really good in the rain too.

Hm, try taking it a little easier on the throttle. That might help until you get new tires.
