Default good street radial for 15x10s ?

looking for recommendations for a tire to fit my 15x10 draglites. the car is street driven, with occasional races/ spirited driving on the street. i figured a good drag radial would be best, but i'd like them to last more than 10k miles. ive been looking and most people like the et streets but they dont seem to last very long. 555s and bfgs seem popular too, but i dont think they'd last very long either. i found some firehawk indy 500s and the bfg radial t/a, but they dont look like they'd grab very well. all in all, im just confused and any help would be great. thanks

i was looking at the nittos. i hear the 555 are pretty good, but they dont appear to have it in my size. they have the 555r, but from what i read, they dont last much longer than et streets. do you have personal experience with these tires?

how many miles did you put on them? was your car a dd or just a weekend/track car? i was looking at those too, but was concerned with tread life
