    Any AA traction 265/70/17 tires ?

    I have a detroit true traction posi 3.73 and and with new wrangler's or bridgestone duellers I have major problems hooking up when it's wet , I mean any unskilled driver will spin out or just spin , it needs babied to leave the line unless it's dry, and then I can still have some issues. I can't find a good tire liek kuhmo ecsta in that size , I have those on my Trans Am and love them, what options are there for good wet traction in that factory 265/70/17 ? I can go to 265/65/17 .

    You may have alot more power than me but I can leave a stop almost floored when wet and go hardly any slip. I got 3.73 posi but in crew cab and I'm running hancook. I think mine are 275/60 there a bit shorter than the 265/70 and bit wider
