So I need to get new tires onto my 10ae before it gets out of the shop. It's on the stock rims till I can upgrade. The issue is I need as much traction as Possible because I will be putting down over 300 to the wheels when the car gets tuned. Since I live in Miami the ideal tires would be summer tires since it's hot here all the time but all seasons with a good temperature rating work as well. I have not really been able to find anything wider than 225 to fit the stock rims so I guess the stickiest possible 225 tire is what I need. I would like to keep the price range inside 150 per tire. Suggestions and personal experiences will be greatly appreciated.

+1 for the XS.

I currently have on Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star specs. Cheaper and excellent in dry grip with decent grip on wet surfaces. I personally like these as an Autocross tire and occasional trips to the grocery store.

Look into RE-11 and Nitto NT05 as well.
