Default Absolute stickiest street tire?

The truck will be back up and running in about 2 months and the tires that are on my 18s right now are lookin a little bald due to some "testing" right after I put hte 418 in. I was spinnning all 4 in 4hi on the street and would like some tires that very sticky. Tread life is not a big deal as this truck isnt driven very much at all due ot having a company truck. I have heard good htings about the nitto 404s and the toyo proxes. Suggestions?

the kdw's suck closet redneck has them and with just a bolt on 5.3 he can spin them at will in first. I was thinking abotu Dr's=555r but they are a little short. Looking for somethin in the 30" range.
