Default Sticky tires?

Ok well here is my problem I recently installed my nitrous kit and my truck flat out hauls out of the hole. Well with the stall and nitrous all four tires spin a little out of the hole quite often. In about two months Im going to be installing h/c 6L in my truck that will make as much power as my truck now on the nitrous and I will be spraying a 175 shot on top of that and get my stal bumped from 3000 up to 3600-3700 so there will approx. 150-200 more hp on tap off the line . I know Im going to have traction problems on the street in 4wd so Im going to atleast need some stickier tires. I need some stickies that are stock hieght not lo pros cause that would look retarded on my Z. So what kind of street tires has everyone had good luck with so I dont waste a bunch of money?

305/60 R17 119V or 305/55 R18 117V depends on what size rim you have but they have to be between 8.5-(9.0)-11.0 wide. the second is the one i want when i get my 18's

check out the toyo proxy 275/70-16. its at 31.1" tall (right in the middle of the 2 factory sizes) and i hear great things about toyos hooking up and getting good milage. they're what im going for when i burn mine off.
