Default Best 60' on 17"x9" rims, 40-50 series radial?

Of the DOT street, high speed rated 17"x9" rim
tire options out there, if you've run at the track
could you post your best 60' time and the tire type?


Just looking to see if this reveals any kind of
clear-cut "rating" for raw traction (to weigh
against rain and treadwear). Come to think of it
if you have worn through a set post mileage too.
