Default No Power to the Road

I have bad wheel hop and just plain no grip with my 95 GSR. I have the stock tires but plan to get nitto's, paradas, or Fz4's. What tires do y'all suggest and when i get new tires what is a good way to reduce wheel hop and put the power to the ground that the car wants.

I have them and they work at eliminating wheel hop.

I personally had the Nitto 450's (205/50/15) and they REALLY sucked in the rain. I also got about 35000 miles out of them (1 1/2 years) and they were almost slicks when I finally did replace them. I just replaced the fronts with Falken (umm ZE-110's or sumtin like that) at $55 each at Discount. It's yet to rain but so far they seem good. I was originaly looking at Kumho's. Discount tire here sold the 712's 205/50/15 at $79 each, kinda expensive, but had a mysterious Kumho 711 model, that I have not heard of before for $50 for same size. It was back ordered though so thats why I got the Falken's. The falkens also have a good aggresive tread design.
