Default tires for the track

I think I am gonna use my oem Z06 rims for the drag strip. Which tires should I put on them? Does MT make the ET street radials in 18's? or should I stick with nitto NT555 DR's?

I don't think I'll buy another set of Nitto DR's. I've got the 315 555r's and now that I have a rear end and drive shaft, I can't get them to stick under harder launches. The best 60' I've cut with them is a 1.90, but usually its around 1.95's.
