Best traction drag tires

I just bought new tires for my SS/SC 18's but I already notice they provide less traction than the last tires I had. What are some of the best tires that I can put on here besides straight up drags. Street/drag tires is what i'm looking for that still look like street tires and that come in a 225/35/18 or 225/40/18 size or something similar. It sucks having horrible traction on brand ass new tires. I spin through 3rd gear in the rain... with a barely modded 2.4.

Car and Driver did a recent test with Tirerack,and had some really good reults in there.I can't find my C+D to tell you which was best,but it was one of the best tests I have seen on tires ever.Do you still have those NA/SS wheels for sale?

Azenis RT-615's work very well for a all around high grip tire. My Toyo T1R's haven't disappointed me either.
