Default What are good street/strip tires

I was at the track a month ago or so and forgot to post up my times...I deffinately need some radials or slicks..part of my problem was that my wheels are only 8 inches wide...im getting new wheels but i just wanted to see what you all would suggest for tire
60' 2.598
1000' 11.612
1/4 13.627
MPH 114.57



obviously traction was a problem... I wish I would have had traction...there were cars at the track running 11.90's at 114

The best street/strip tire if its not a daily driver would be m/t et street radials. Everyday driver and weekend warrior, nitto drag radials.

From everywhere I looked, discount tire direct was the cheapest. $158 a pop.
