Default NT 450 any good.

I have 80 dollar kumhos that blow right now. I dont ever really see the track but do a lot of 30mph roll racing. I want a street tire for under 150 or so that has good dry traction. Thanks for the help

What size are you looking for? That will effect what you can and can't afford.

I am a big fan of the Toyo Proxes TQ DR's for traction. They aren't too expensive either.

Your rear end can break on street tires. Honestly, if you are only doing roll racing, and not doing any hard launches then drag radials might actually be a safer option. Spinning regular old street tires from a roll could create wheel hop which will tear up a rear end quick.

You won't be putting a whole lot of stress on the rear end doing 30 rolls.

Get some Nitto 555R drag radials. WS6Store has them for $136. You may be able to find them cheaper if you shop around a little. But, they'll still last ~12-15k miles and you'll never have to worry about spinning from a 30 roll.

The BFG g-Force Sport would be a great option if you decide to go with a street tire.
