Default Goodyear GS-D3's or Drag Radials?

I want to get rid of my stock rims and tires. I know what rims i want but im not sure of the tires. I have been doing research and it seems as if the GS-D3's are one of the best street radials for my car. Im looking for best DRY grip, good handling and decent tread life. now im exploring drag radials and i would appreciate your input. i have looked at Nittos and BfG drag radials so far.
THANKS in advance!!!

all i can comment on are the GS-D3's, as theyre what i have (315s) they are an AWESOME tire, and i am completely happy with them...they have badass dry traction and hook very well, and their wet tracton is among the best if not the best, with 'performance' tires
only down side...they are pricey

do what i did, gs-d3's in the front, nittos out back . the gs-d3's are a GREAT tire (i am most impressed with the tread life). i had them on all 4 corners, but then got a nail in one so decided to swap out the rears for nittos. for dry traction, the nittos hook a little better, but the gs-d3's beat them in every other category (wet traction, tread life, handling, etc...)

If you talking about the comp T/A's i've got those out back. They're alright as far as cornering goes, but for dry traction they suck.
