Default 17" tires for a h/c/n2o car?

Which tires would you choose for the car in my sig, going to be on a 150 shot with a 3800 stall. Daily driver but will not be in a few months.

1. 275/40/17 Hooser Drag Radials

2. 295/45/17 Mickey Thompson Drag Radials

3. 26/11.5/17 Mickey Thompson ET Streets

Out of those 3, 295/45/17s. If you don't need that much tire height, go with the 275/40/17 MT radial. The Hoosiers are too soft for much street driving, and the old school ET streets suck compared to the new stuff, esp. with an auto.

295/45's for sure. Not only are they a sticky Mickey (HAHA) but they will have a taller sidewall. Bigger sidewall will improve your chances to hook.
