Need advice: best tires for good launches. 03 E46 BMW M3

I have Pilot Sports on there now, but i get alot of wheel hop when i start. My launch technique admittedly needs work, but I wanted to know your opinions on the best tires for road/track (auto-x) use. I want something that is going to handle the torque better.

depends on the weather
wheel hop is a suspension issue not a tire issue .... but with that said the best/grippiest tire in the OE 18" sizes is the Advan Neova AD07 from Yokohama

What about the suspension is causing it? Too firm on the back?

the suspension is wrapping up and unloading which is what wheel hop is .... typically the cause is shocks which are not up to the task
