Default Which 20" tires for traction??

I am putting some stock 20's on my 07 and need some advise on which tire will half *** hook on my truck. I realize 570 rwhp isnt really "hook" friendly, but i don't want to slam the truck and put a 28"tall drag radial on my stock suspended ride. I'm looking at a tire that is close to the stock 30" size for ride quality and will still look decent on a stock ride height truck. If there is any experience out there I'd like a little help. The softest tire i have found so far is the general grabber in a stock size. The goodyears sound like a squeeling rabbit at 55 lol. The tallest drag radial I found is 28.4" tall. Too short, story of my life. Any direction is appreciated.

Mickey thompson et street radial II's. The best your gonna find. I run the same tire in a 16 and it hooks pretty damn good.

I agree with you 100%, my car pulls 1.40 60fts with that same tire, but they dont make a 20 in tire thats tall enough.
