Best drag tires for a cammed m6?
So i just recently picked up a set of big and skinny street lites for my 01 ss m6 and currently they have a set of hoosier drag radials on them that have a few passes left on them but not alot so i think i need to think about a set of tires for the near future. I guess what i am asking is what are some options that anyone has had experience with on an m6 car. I have heard that if you want traction on an m6 car i should stay away from the radials but i would like to hear some more input. The mods that are going to be on the car next season (along with the mods already in my sig) are tick sns stage 3 cam (with supporting valvetrain), spec 3 clutch, tick master, torque arm, 12 bolt with 3.42's and a burkhart drag bar.
Thanks
Thanks

Hoosier QTP as stated if you are driving it on the street. You most likely won't be happy with a 28 inch tall tire with that gear. I need more gear and I am running a 27 inch tall QTP with 3.73 gears.

Thanks for all the input guys! Yes i do want to drive it to the track along with other places so it looks like i need to invest in another set of wheels to put some more streetable tires on. Unless is there a way that i could have my stock zr1's drilled out so that they will fit on a 5/8" wheel stud?
