Good sticky summer tires?
Like the title says any recommendations for some good sticky summer tires? Not looking for drag tires. Just something that will provide some good stickyness when i get my blower.
Right now im running 20x10 rear wheels with 285/30/20 tires. Even a change in tire size is welcome.
Was lookin at the Nitto NT05's
(i already have a different set of rims for winter, though i dont think ill be driving this through the winter with a blower on it.)

MT Street Comps are easily one of the best tires for our cars. I've heard good things about Michelin Pilot Super Sports as well.
I have a friend who uses the MT's, he says the difference is crazy between them and the factory (crappy) P-Zero's.

That I can understand, just looking for something to help out a bit more due to the fact I have to replace my rear tires soon anyway.

If you enjoy blasting corners and not just a straight line, I loved the Michelin PSS. For less money and near the same dry and wet grip, the new Bridgestone S-04 Pole Position tires are a very close second IMO.

OP depends what you want to do, M&H race masters on your stock motor blower car will dead hook I bet.
You can spend all you want on a tire, look at doing some suspension and you should be pretty good.
If the car is a true DD the race master isn't the best option, but I love them my N/A car just goes no spinning at all on them.

I had the factory P Zeros and thought they were ok. Upgraded (?) to Michelin PSS and while they are stickier, they sacrifice a ton of ride quality due to the stiffer sidewalls. Road feedback is enough to rattle parts of my dash, and the noise level is about what the P Zeros were with 1/32'' remaining. I think I have around 4/32'' left on the PSS.
I'll be going with BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp 2's shortly. Can't beat the price (about $750), and they're the same compound as the outgoing Michelin PS2.

I'm going to put the Bridgestone's on my car in a couple of months moving from the Pirelli's that came with the car. Going to a 19x9.5 with 275/40 all the way around.

I put a set of Sumitomo HTR ZIII's on my 18" track wheels and ran them for 2 days at a road course a couple weeks ago. With some heat in them, they were quite sticky for a street tire and they held up phenomenally (which is what I was going for... not so much ultimate traction, balance of wear with good grip). I don't launch my car, I only do road courses so primarily 3, 4, & 5th gears only, but per my data logging setup the car was pulling a touch over 1g when I hit a corner right, so no complaints.
For the price, they are hard to beat!

Kind of what to revive this thread.
The BF sport comp 2's dont come in a size I'm looking for. I want a wider tire, somewhere up towards 305. The MT street comps would be perfect but they are on back order it seems everywhere for 2-3 weeks.
Any other suggestions?
