Default 27-28in 17's for the street?

What options are out there? Drag radial or summer tires? I'm going to be stepping up to a big boy gear here soon and want something easier for the street too...

Im going to be running 28x10.5x15 stiff Etdrag at the track btw..

Idk how conducive the MT is because I need miles out of it and it also sees a good deal of rain.. and the 345 is way to big lol...

any other options out there?

Im running the M&H 325/45/17s. They are 28" diameter. They hook up pretty damn good. My car puts down 754rwhp too.

How well do they wear? I really want something like a 27-28inch nittos. Stickier than a normal tire, but hard enough to get good miles.. its my true DD right now!

On stock wheels you would need a 275/50/17 to get over 27 inches.
