I’ve got these old BF Goodrich from 2011. They just smoke and do t lay the rubber down. Need some traction
Check the tire traction rating

Loaded question. Lots of info missing.
Gotta be radials, or bias okay? Stick or auto? How much are you trying to hook up?
For just a better tire than a t/a, try a Cooper cobra, or equivalent m/t (same tire, more money, better name in white letters. )
More tire, for more traction/less life? Mickey, Toyo, Nitto, Hoosier, drag radials. M/T street ss more street than the street R.
Bias okay, but want full tread? Hoosier Quick time.
Really serious bias? Hoosier quick time pro, or Mickey ET Street. (Basically slicks, but with grooves)
(I have two different sets for my car, when it's not on slicks. Either 315/60x15 small tires, M/T ET Street radial pro's, or Hoosier 18x31 QT Pro big tires. Both suicidal in wet weather)

For a car that sees a lot of miles the Nitto drag radials are a good choice. For limited use and or higher horsepower = more traction the ET streets may hook better with a shorter lifespan.
