new wheels need suggestions for tires I just ordered a set of c5 dd 17x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rears and was looking for some reasonably priced tires for the street. I don't think i'll be able to take it to the track this year so I need some good street tires that wont break my bank account. Any insight would be appreciated. Not a daily driver just a weekend warrior.

weekend warrior, dont want to break the bank.
So are you looking for just a drive around tire, or a cornering tire, or a launching tire? How long would you want the tires to last?

It's a weekend driver. I just built a 427lsx motor for it and supporting trans. but have to wait to put a rearend in it so I really don't want to make it launch hard. Just something that wears decent without a lot of road noise. I can't stand it when a car goes by and the first thing you hear are the tires roaring.lol I just need something cheap to get me by till next summer, no hard cornering or anything just some burnouts and such once in awhile. I wont take it to the track till I can afford to put a rear in it. Thanks for the replies so far.

Well I found an awesome deal on some 315 hoosier drag radials so I bought those for the rear and just bought some cheap kuhmo tires for the front. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
