So I was originally planning on waiting until after I get wheels and tires to get 4.10s. But after this string forced me to get new tires early and I ended up having to get another set of the stock 235/55-17 Pirellis I am rethinking waiting. Since I will probably wait a little longer to get wheels and tires so I'm not abandoning brand new tires I was thinking of going to 4.10 earlier.

So how much traction trouble going to have to deal with if I put 4.10s on the stock 235 Pirellis? Anyone running 4.10s with the stock tires? Am I going to be able to get any traction from a stop? Or will I be having to work much much harder at that?

You're shifting is gonna have to be spot on otherwise you're gonna chirp coming out of first or if you need to downshift in traffic. Hope your shifting is ****.

4.10 + stock pirellis + super charger = smoke

I have a lot better traction now that I have 255/45/18 before I literally was burning rubber too much.

I have stock pirelli's and 4.10's.
Zero problems.
Full traction from any gear.
I can also break them loose when I want to.
Or, I can sit here and spin them all day long.
Of course, that's a little bit of an exaggeration, as I tend to get sideways a bit, but I have to choose to let up for the wheels to get a grip.

If you are an average or better driver, you should not have any problems.

I have 4.10's with the stock Pirellis'. Normal to spirited driving is ok but get on it hard and traction is pretty bad. I have 18 x 10 rims with 285 40 18 Nitto 555s' on order.

I've been happy with 4.10s and the stock Pirellis, very drivable and it's fun finding the "sweet spot."
