Good sticky summer tires?

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.

Wow, alright will definitely have to consider it thanks!

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!

OEM diameter with brembo package 19's is 27.2"
275/35/19 on the same wheel will be 26.6"

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?
