Default slicks and options

i have a set of goodyear drags size 28x10/15 for the rears and some
26x4.5/15 on the front. have not had a decent pass on these and are very dry rotted now. so time to get new ones, im thinking going wider to maybe a "W" or even a 10.5. i would like to see what yall are running and see what combos work, dont want it to get to shakey at the end, lol this is a race car only no street time

heres what i have 415 motor, trans brake and line lock th350 with 3800 stall,also a 200 shot. 4:11 spooled

questions are here
should i go to a bigger diameter front tires??
regular front runners or matching slicks/runners?
tubes on either??
what brand tires do yall prefer?? slicks are slicks but sure theres opinions?

i have done some research on the stickies but no decisions made yet. thanks

3055s Mickey Thompsons fit well on a 10" rim. I've used them with and without tubes. Sixtied the same but the tubes made it a little better on the top end. I use mt's dot's up front due to the weight.
