Default 3.73s and a 6-speed. What tire?

I'm a little confused as to what tire to go with. I don't want a radial as I will spin. I was thinking a 26" tire since it will grow into a 27" tire down the track. Maybe a 27" will be better for the launch and I won't have to rev my car real high to make it across the line. i plan on shifting at 6500. I ran a 4:56s gear with 28" radials and had to really stretch 4th gear to make it across. Didn't like doing that. What size tires do you guys recommend? I'll be buying a 15x10 wheel.
