Ditto on the sz50s. Damn good tire. Usually the lower the treadwear the softer the tire. Sz50s have a treadwear of 220. The hook pretty good. See sig for 60ft

But realistically if u want something to hook get a drag radial. Dont waste your money like I did and farting around the 1.9-2.1 range. Get a drag radial and be in the 1.8s or lower. Just be careful when in the rain and when they wear out! -Mark
ps. I think a SS rim is 17x8? so a 285 tire will look really weird on it.
