Switch to a 15" wheel/tire on the street to hook 550rwhp?
Current tire is on a 18x10 c5 Z06 wheel, is 305/40/18 (28") Nitto 555R for the street and is OK when having nitrous fun. Blows the tires off at any speed below 40mph.
What is the best option here?
Switching to a stickier tire like a Hoosier or MT radial in a 28" size on my 18" wheel (ideal for me)
OR
buy a 15" wheel and throw some 28" MT on it?
Again, I'd prefer to keep the 18" setup to daily drive, but if i do that I need a sticker tire. Suggestions for a 18x10 wheel?
Sizes and brand that you guys have had experience holding 550rwhp+ on the street from low rolls.

I agree with ragtopz28. What you could do is just buy a cheap set of 15x10 rears with a some sticky Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials. I have those, and my car will hook for days. Then you can roll around on your big street wheels/tires, and throw on the drag wheels when you need them.
