Default Best hooking "street" radial and size for 15"x10"

I'm looking for the best street radials, not drag radials, for traction.
So far the Goodyear GS-D3 looks good.

Also, how big of the tire can I go with a 15x10 7.5BS on stock wheel wells with bumpstops gone, stock rear height, and a big hammer or grinder/etc?

Thanks,

Wes

How long do they usually last if you don't burn em off?
Also how long do the MT drag radials last if you dont burn em off?

I've hooked some Sumitumo HTR+'s to some 1.75x 60's before, but then again, I've got my car setup to hook on just about anything. I've found that Fuzion ZR1's hook too.

To hook a street tire well, I think that suspension matters more than which tire. You've got to MAKE that bitch hook.

EDIT: Just saw that you're an M6, heh, good luck hooking a street tire... I'd just go with the Nitto 555 DR.

I have a whole other setup for the track. I'm just looking for something on my extra prostars for the street that I won't have to replace every 5K miles...

I used to have good luck out of Kuhmo Ecstas. I've cut some low 1.7's in my 94.

the giant hoosier radials are a true street tire, but it is like 31 or 33"s might have to raise the car a bit to make it fit
