Default I need some sticky tires for my Truck

I have an '03 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7 HEMI

I currently have the Goodyear Eagle LS1 Tires but they are terrible, especially in wet conditions.
I cant be driving around Florida in the wet summer with these tires.

Any reccomendations for a Super Grippy Tire, I am willing to sacrafice tire life but I just need to know that the truck is going to stick alot better than it is now.

How is the 275/55-20 Yokohama Spec-X Tire??

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Right now I have the Yokohama Spec X tire on my truck in a 275/60/R20 and they are a nice tire, I cant break them loose on dry pavement and on wet roads I can barely make them spin before they hook up and go. If you like stomping on it from light to light you break of the line without any spinning as they hook up immediately. The next tire I will be trying out is the Nitto's NT420's though, they have a nice speed rating if are suppose to be an upgraded version of the NT404's which stuck to the ground stick like glue. The NT404's were the only tire I would put on my truck up until they stopped making them in the right size, which is the only reason I am trying the Spec X's now.
