Maybe compared to road race slicks, but Avons aren't drag slicks by any means. I'm not sure the Avons would give Blitz that much more traction in a drag situation, but they are probably the best overall compromise. The Avons are made as an all around use very high performance street tire, road coarse, high speed, etc, so I guess from that perspective they were built for the same intended usage as the tires on your 458. It seems quite improper to force Blitz to use real crappy tires.
