Default Grip issues, need help please

I have a 2016 GT with the factory performance package wheels and tires (Pirelli PZero). The car has a Roush supercharger tuned by Power By The Hour in West Palm Beach, FL. The car is putting 620HP to the wheels and I am getting an enormous amount of wheel spin on 1st and 2nd gears to the point they are almost useless. I have been told that the best I can do to alleviate this problem is to upgrade to more sticky rubber. Can anyone recommend what kind of tires I should look into? Is this the way to go? Thanks for the help.

If you go to tirerack.com and put info in they will show what tires to choose from.

Look for one that is better for traction.

The PZero are all season and you want a summer tire.

Nothing special, just a summer tire? Great! Thanks.

Michelin Super sports, or Bridgestone R11s. The wider the tire the better, within reason.

What is the rim size in the front and back? Are they 19 diameter rims?

The only thing that will really cure your traction issue is a competition style tire. I've been driving on DRs for the past 5 years on the street and after trying every brand, the Nitto 555R DR.works the best for me.

Decent cold traction, wet conditions are the same as normal tires and they cost relatively the same as the tires recommended above.
