Ive read Hoosier tires seem to run a bit quicker than MT tires although I know MT has a really good reputation. I cant fault the Bfg drag radials I bought but my best was a 13.3 but they kept the car from spinning. Theres an interesting recent thread about people running insane times with the drag radials.

There's a lot of threads about tires, im sure if you try a search you might find some stuff that might be helpful.

I have a friend with a mustang with tubes in the tires was telling me its said to make the car .3 slower at the end just from the weight. So if there's better options to avoid that I would.
