Default Launching on Azenis or All Seasons?

I have never launched my new car (h22 powered integra w/ lsd) at the track. I also have never driven on Azenis before. I know the Azenis arent drag racing tires. The car has horrible wheelhop/spin through first gear with them. It is just as bad on the 14 inch steelies, but less wheel hop. I have launched turbo cars well on street tires so I am no noob to launching, but will the stiffer sidewall of the Azenis give me a harder time trying to get a good 60 foot?

What am I better launching on, the Azenis or the All-Season tires? Any experiance is greatly appreciated

Azenis are marginally better than all seasons. They both have a stiff sidewall though.

I had better luck on Continental Tires than my Falken Azenis, they both hopped pretty hard. I'm not the best driver either...
