best tires for launching?

[Rayers1997]

so my daily driven F80 needs new tires. Car is currently tuned on full E85 putting down 601. the hankook v12s I'm currently running barely hook for 60 rolls. wondering what the best tire would be to fix my grip issue? I live in the south so we get a good bit of rain, so drag tires are out. 19 inch wheels

RE-71R are the Best tires you can get for grip with a tuned car, I and many others here have them and they're good in rain as long as you're not trying to race. 285-35/19 best size with 437m wheels

my,tuner reccomended Mickey Thompson ET streets, but ive read theyre bad in rain. he says he runs em on his 1200hp camaro with no issues in rain.

would re71s have,more or less grip?

less grip than MT's, but yea not safe in rain but I guess depending on your pedal habits

i thought the general consensus was the best tire sizes on those rims were
295 35 19 for the rear and
275 35 19 for the front on the 437M rims

best/closest to spec is 265/35 19 and 285/35 19 on the 437m's
