What Tire???
What Tire??? Currently running a 275/60R15 MTradial in a 6 speed with 4.30s from a 9in.........Although i did manage a 1.7 60' time. Its wheel hoping a little bit as well......i was thinking maybe a 27x10.5x15 biasply et street. The car is a full bolt on MS3 cam fast 92 car with almost full suspension......UMI k member, a arms no front sway bar, LCA and relocation brakets, Panhard bar, Spohn Torque arm relocation.
oh and i have a spec stg 3 clutch.........but yeah tired of having to slip or ride the clutch on launch with some spinning and wheel hop.........ready to just dump n go! but not really sure what tire is overkill for my set up.

You can run a 13" wide tire on a 10" wheel without problems so any tire you are considering will work. Full drag tires aren't really needed in 99% of aplications. They cost more, require a longer burnout, therfore they don't last as long. The ET street should be just fine. The Drag won't bog the car.

With a street driven M6 car, you need to get away from the Drag Radial. The weight and rpm requirment of which you need to leave off the line on AVERAGE over powers the tires.
Are there guys out there that have gotten a M/T ET Street Radial to work? Yes, but are the majority, No.
ET Streets are a better choice but in the end a ET Drag is something you should really look into. Even if you need to swap tires. Beleive me, it sucks. I would not want to deal with it either if I could help it.
With a Magic Stick car you need to leave at a HIGH rpm, but I do not see you bogging. Had you been running anything less then a 4.10 gear or a tall tire, MAYBE but you have a 4.30's and there is/should be no reason your bogging.

Sticks tend to sometimes need a softer sidewall tire to absorb the "shock" versus an auto (unless the suspension and track prep are spot on). As some have mentioned, a slick tire will help with that. You can make a radial work but they are less forgiving than a slick.

A stiff sidewall slick will last longer on a heavy car versus a std slick. I usually get 20-25 more runs on my M/T ET Drag 28 x 10.5 stiff slicks versus the regular sidewall (3600 lb transbrake car that usually kills the sidewalls before the tread dots are gone).
