Best tires for Roll Racing?

BM3 - Stage 2 E30
What tires are you guys running? I am on 295/30r20 MP4s, and I spin in 2nd gear rolls at 40 and 50mph unless I absolutely cook the tires before. It's added a lot to my 60-130 time and wondering what the best tire options are?

I'm ideally looking for a Y rated tire that's decent in the rain, I was thinking Cup 2 but they wear like 80TW....
Yoko A052 has come across my choices, and so has the Goodyear Supercar 3's.

If anyone with experience on these with ~530+ whp could weigh in, would be much appreciated. I hear both sides of the R888r argument, and I don't think they're the best option.

The R888R, while garbage on track, seem to be the tire of choice for people with tons of power to get some traction

Mickey thompson ET street S/S tires. Hook like a charm on a dig or at whatever roll. Amazing at the drag strip also, not sure how they fair on a track setting but in terms of rolling pulls/street digs, they're elite especially keeping 24 PSI in the rears always.

In terms of rain with them, I try not to drive the f80 when it rains especially hard, but light wet roads I didn't really see an issue since I go from a lead foot to a pillow foot when road conditions suck.

My biggest thing is also speed rating. ET Street S/S's arent speed rated and there are sometimes I'm traveling at high rates of speed for extended periods of time. I don't want this to lead to significantly accelerated wear (since its not rated), or for there to be detrimental handling/water dissipation at high speeds.

I've thought about getting a different set of wheels entirely so that I don't have to worry about it, but I like having good traction all the time
Looks like r888r is probably my best option
