Default Need straigth line traction

I would like a a tire that will help my straight line traction that I can drive on everyday. I got the strip twice a year so a extra set of drag radials really doesn't meet my needs. I currently have 235-55-17 pirrellis. Car gets driven almost exclusively in nice weather, never in the snow but on occasion in temperatures around 30 degrees. Thinking Goodyear F1 A/S or Michelin PS A/S

You are better off not using all season as long as you don't need snow/ice traction.

The yokohama advan sport, or sumitomo htrz3 would give you the best traction in your size.

I like the Advan Sports and strongly considered getting them myself before going R888's. I think you will like that tire and is a nice recommendation from Colin.
