Default which drag radial

I know this has been asked over and over again, but everyone car is different. With the mods in my sig what tire should I use for strictly track use? What ever tires I buy they will not be used on the street, so I don't have to worry about rain. I will be running a 16" wheel.

For strictly track I've heard alot of good things about the BFG and M/T DRs.

For track use only the M/T "drag radials" should be your best bet from what I've read.

Great link!!! I haven`t seen these before, I have used Hoosier drag slicks for the last 6 years with very good results.
As far as the other dragradials MT dragradials are deffinately the best, BFGs are also good but not as good as the MTs, Nittos drags wear much better and can be used as sticky street tires(they are what I use for daily driven tires). In 8 years I`ve used 6 sets of BFG dragradials(track only+ limited street use), 5 sets of Nitto dragradials(street driving only, good in rain), 2 sets of MT dragradials (stickiest for dragracing bad in rain),3 sets Hoosier drag slicks(very sticky track only), 1 set MT drag slicks( about as sticky as BFGs so so).

Got a 1.653 on these bad boys. BFG G-Force T/A DR, new tread style. You can drive to/from track. M/T ET streets are a little better, but not by much.
