Tire Selection Advice

[Knoxville]

I am looking for some new tires on my rear wheel drive vehicle to gain some additional traction. My driving takes place on the street the majority of the time, and drag strip minimal.

I'm looking for some of the best grip and handling possible for a street driver. I currently am having issues hooking up with my 245 all season tires.

The tire sizes that I am interested in are as follows:
fronts: 245/40/19
rears: 285/35/19

The Bridgestone Potenenza RE-11's interest me, but I'm not sure if they are worth the price.

I'd be interested in hearing what others have used with good experiences or even some brands that I should steer away from because of bad experiences.

Thanks in advance.
