Welcome to driving a V-8! I have sticky 275/40ZR17's on the back of mine, and I have upgraded my suspension, and I can slide corners.

A hard 1-2 shift will cause the rear axle to hop slightly with stock suspension, causing traction loss. Mine used to do so on a 3-4 powershift until I upgraded to HPMotorsport Lower control arms.

That said, some of the stickiest Z rated street tires out there are Nitto's, BFG's, and I've heard really good things about Kumho Ecsta tires.
