I also have the PSS on mine and at first I really like them but now after my mods I can spin them at half throttle with little or no traction at all.
I've ordered Forgestar F14's in 19" and am going to go with semi slicks, just don't know which ones yet.. Looking at the Dunlop star specs, but they are crazy expensive.. Want to run 285R and 255F...

I can spin mine at part thottle also 
join the club no street tire can handle the torque we make. So either ride around on drag radials or try toyo R888's semi street slick

Had to wait about a week here in Germany for these. They are remarkable! Also significantly lighter.

I would love to try the R888's but they don't come in the right size
Having a hard time finding semi's in the right size.. Dunlop star maxx come in the right sizing but are CRAZY expensive...

toyo proxes R888... been running them in the rear and PSS up front and the combo is great for stoplight take of traction and fast cornering.... and the pss upfront cut thru light standing water on rainy days to make the toyos in the rear not too sketchy on the highway.
just drove back from south FL to nashville this weekend and hit a few massive down pours on the highway and had no problems with this setup

in 18's they do have them in 275/35 and tirerack actually has some that are shaved 4/32nds at $60 a piece, which is a screaming deal! (normally $270)
