The best way to get traction on a 20" wheel is to remove it and run a smaller wheel with a drag radial, lol. Its going to be hard to find one that'll hook up on a 150 shot; although I'm anxious to see how the Nitto 555's turn out. I think for the best street tires I'd go with Cooper or General.

When I was running nitrous on the street i noticed that neither the 100 or 150 shot were any good in first gear. Unless You run the nitto radials, you will have to launch as best as possible NA and hit the spray as soon as you hit 2nd gear. Everytime I tried to spray in first gear, I would just spin and lose speed or I'd end up in another lane haha.

Oh ya, I am running the Hankook ventus as well. 295-45-20. They are a good tire for the money and they wear very well. The General grabber UHP may hook better at first because their compound is a lil softer but they wont last long-BUT they are cheaper than the Hankooks.

Hankook Ventus H06 here in a 275/45/20. and i LOVE them. They have excellent grip.
A locker really helps a lot. With everything in my sig they still grip great. They spin a little going wot in first but as soon as it hits 2nd at 40 it's all traction.
They have been lasting a long time too

I plan on buying another set in 17"s
