Default Nitrous and tires

Ok so im picking up a zex wet kit on thursday and my big question is what do you guys run for tires. Im only going to run a 75 shot till I can get some colder spark plugs. Unfortunetly I still have stock size of 235/55 17. I think I am going to really struggle getting traction with that size. What are all you Nitrous guys running to help handle that peak of tq that you get from the spray?

Stickiness of the tire is going to be more important than width.

My rear street tires are Continental ExtremeContact DW 285/40-18 and they do moderately well (not great, but well) at my power level. (449rwhp)

When drag racing, I use an M&H Racemaster 275/45/18 drag radial tire, and they do significantly better.
