So, I really don't know much about tire sizes and brands and what not so I would like to hear some opinions. I have a 2015 ecoboost, intake and tune, and whenever I lay on the pedal my tires lose traction, same as I shift into second. I figure the most logical next mod would be some grippier back tires to put the power to the ground. I have the performance pack so I have the pirelli 265 35 r20 i believe. What would be a good size/brand of tire to go with in the rear?

Thats why the Pirelli are known for that.

I would recommend a MPSS tire as a good option. or Nitto as well.

you likely have wheel hop. The stickiest of tires won't help if the tire is bouncing around.

Look into parts for limiting wheel hop as well as firming up the rear subframe and transmission. You can get more power to the ground by removing slop. Tires can definitely help, but i would look into correcting the movement first.

I have heard very good things from the BMR Cradle Bushing Lockout (watch the video tab)

Time for some suspension goodies. And replace the Pirelli's.

So apparently those kits don't work with convertibles :/. Any others?
