Question Tire question for the big hp guys in the area

I know this should prob be in the wheel tire section but I searched it to no avail

As many of you know my fd is up and running, and while I’m not making as much power as ErnieT, I have no traction in 1st, 2nd and if I go into 3rd hard they spin. So needless to say I need to upgrade my rear tires. Drag radials are not an option, I drive it 2 much and cornering on drag radials is crappy, and I hate the wobble that they have.
So I’m debating what to put out back, P-zero corsicas, Nitto 555’s, Toyo t1’s, Advan sports, Advan 032R’s?
285-17’s are what I can fit. But if 275 is what their available in I’m fine with that

But I just wanted to get opinions from you guys as far as what your running, or what you like/think is best.

Thanks

I'm running the new Falken Azenis all around and i'm more than happy with them! Theyre sticky and after 1k miles the writing on the thread still visible. Plus theyre pretty cheap, 170 for the rears(275/40/17) if they dont last that long...theyre said to be good for about 12k miles of street use.
I know they werent on your list, just thought you might want to consider them also.

I was leaning towards the Toyo's but you never know, hell i remember when Eddie Bello (think that was his name) was running his Porsche on them.
