Default Tires for boost applications

I just finished installing a JWT 530 kit, and I am happy with the power but not the pull...

my 1st and 2nd are worthless, I am currently running 275/30/19 BFg' KDW2 and they are not grippin at all. and they only have few miles on them.

i would like to gather information for future seekers like me, and if possible post in this manner:

1. Power applied (370RWHP)
2. Size (inches) (19")
3. Brand | Specs (BFg's KDW II | 275/30)
4. Suspension set up (buddyclub)
5. your point of view as if you like or dislike (no grip, too much spin)

Thank you all...

Cool, I searched both tires and FI, but I will look into it again.

Toyo R888 are great. I've been in a 565whp Z and hooked very well with those tires.

The car is much too powerful for any tires know to man.

This is very true, but also, the R888's are a nice road race tire, you wouldnt wanna take a Drag Radial like the BFG out on corners, the sidewalls are very soft and will fold over. R888's are great for track. Its all in what you want to do with the car..
