Good burnout tyres

Hey guys i was just wondering if anyone knows of a set of tyres that are good for both smoke and squeel. Right now i'm running goodyear on the back and they are obviously spinning quiet well because you can smell it but they just make a grating noise not a real squeel. If anyone can help me out it would be great. The cars a series 2 with a fairly stock 12A. Even if you guys know what type of compound basically any help would be greatly appreciated.

Find some really old, sun-baked tires in a junk yard. The tires on my car sat in the sun for five years, and I can light 'em up in three gears with a stock 12A. Real loud, too.

As long as you don't get the AVS-ES100's, they are silent

Dry rot is your friend. Just be careful at higher speeds.

the cheapes nasties tires, with preferably a high milage rating.
my personal favs were the six year old BfGoodrich knock offs. they had been driven for a long period of time, and let sit for 2 yrs in the sun.
Then they gotdriven and let sit about 3 more times.
these were the hardest most slipery tires I had ever see.
unfortionalty not a ton of smoke but holy **** were they loud!!!! sounded like a damn siren.
mmmm the good oll days.
