Default Best Drag Radial for 17x9 OEM ZR1

I did a search and nothing really. I'm looking for a set of track tires to put on my 17x9 Zr1's. I'm leaning towards Mickey Thompsons. Any suggestions? I'm putting down a little over stock HP and won't be putting down anything more than 350rwhp anytime soon.

"What's the best drag radial" or some variation is asked about 70 times a month in here, you don't even really have to use the search function. Just scroll down.
If you want them to last, get you around in the rain and maybe not snap your 10 bolt then get the Nitto 555R.
BTW how do you like the Auburn?

I know the question is beat to death but I just wanted to know what some ppl are running on their ZR1's. I did a search before.
And it's actually a great for my every day use. I beat on it and so far it holds up.

nitto drags for life and they do stick good when there warm.
most traction will be with the mickeys.
the new nitto nt05's are suposed to be close to the mickys but much better than the 555's

The Hoosier drag radial is just as sticky as the Mickeys but much lighter. But don't even think of driving with them in the rain (or even just wet pavement), you will die. With the Mickeys you stand at least a chance of getting home if you go really slow.
