Default help me pick a tire

Going to be needing a new set of tires for my truck soon. I'm looking for a 305/50R20 with a V speed rating. From what I've seen I have 3 choices I'm looking at. The Yokohama Parada Spec-X, theKumho Ecsta STX, and the Toyo Proxes ST II. Right now my truck is in the shop getting a turbo installed and I'm trying to figure out which of those tires is going to give me the best traction in a straight line. So if anyone has had first hand experience with some or all of those tires, which one do you think hooked the best. I'm not overly concerned with tread life, smooth ride, wet traction, snow traction, or road noise. Just whatever is going hook the best on dry pavement out those street tires.

Lower treadwear # = softer compound = better traction
