Default any suggestions on new rear tires?

I looking at getting a new set of rear tires in the next week or two? any recommendations for what to go with? im looking for something that gives me a little more traction on acceleration that right now, current tires are the stock 255/19/40 all season tires i believe. i dont want to change tire size either. semi slicks are illegal in my state so dont bother with em, wouldnt go with something like that anyway cuz i still need to drive in the rain every so often. Dont care about different brand, just looking for some input and whats out there.

I've been running a set of Toyo Proxes 4s since December. They are very decent in the snow and do fairly well when pushed. Took em to the dragon. They do like to talk with hard cornering. That said I intend to get new wheels and a set of summer only tires soon. Probably go with PS2s. I've run through 2 sets so far and they give me what I'm looking for when it's nice out.

If your idea of "track" includes turns and such then PS2's are good for street and occaisional track. If your idea of "track" is a straight line then someone else will have to pitch in.
