Default Drag/Street Tires

Here's the Deal. I have a set of Bogart D10s 15x10 for the rear. To swap out on my 98 Formula. Just for racing purposes. The racing will be done on the street, and these wheels/tires will be used for Mainly street racing, and occasional drag strip passes. Swapped out before racing. They will obviously get some street driven miles on them but minimal. What would the BEST tire be for this? I was thinking about Micky Thompson ET streets. Or should I use Drag Radials. How wide of a tire should I use? I don't mind beating the fender wells if it's for a good cause. the car will be putting down 900+rwhp. If that helps any

any tire on the street in a 900+hp car will be useless, you could use et streets though, is the car lowered any?

i can barely hook off gas on the street on 325/50/15 MT DRs ... on gas it's stupid.


Good luck trying to hook, seriously.

I figured I wouldn't be able to hook. The car isn't lowered any. I can turn it down about 750rwhp.. That may help a little.
