If you've got 15" or 16" wheels get a set of Hoosier Race (DOT legal) tires - they will stick like you won't believe. There are Autocross versions that don't need so much warm up, then road race versions as well. And, in 16" you can get a 275/50/16 tire that is quite large and looks very good. 15" has some big ones too, but I cannot remember the size.
