Default Best street tire for hooking up?

I know most people don't race with a street tire at the track.I will be racing in a few weeks and one of the rules of the class is no dr's,et streets or et drags.The tires will be mounted on a 17 inch rim.
If you could,list what 60' times you got with those tires,combo and hp/tq numbers.Thanks in advance.

LOL, pretty much nothing is correct.

However, going to something such as a BFG KD would be the most agressive tire you could get, but not considering a "competition" tire.

i cut a 1.74 on dunlop 8000's @ 25PSI on 17x9 rims. Tires were 275/45/17's

dunno my dyno numbers, but im guesing 360ish hp cam only. That run/60 got me a 12.01

but i have a A4 for its easy to feather/floor the gas to get the perfect bite and not break loose

Goodyear has a new F1 that will out hook the Z06 version.When they did the track test it dead hooked in wet conditions as well.Might be worth the look

look into the kumho race tire that is kinda considered a drag radial, except it isn't "listed" as one. THAT would be your best bet
