Default Bias ply tires for 17s

Hey guys, im planning to run my car at the track pretty soon and I have some stock SS rims (17x9 or 9.5?) that I plan to use for drag wheels and me being an M6 car it would be better for me to run a bias ply tire rather than a radial to absorb the shock of the hit....

So question is, what are you guys using for a bias ply tire for a 17 inch rim? Brand? Size? And possibly some links??? Lol this would be my first time buying some sort of tire like this so someone please help me out with ordering online like when it says tubeless or tube tires ect...

Thanks ahead of time!

How long do those ET streets last with street driving? Longer than an ET street radial?

I'm guessing you wouldn't wanna drive on the street if your trying to make it last lol but 1.6-1.7 is great on 17 inch rim. Only thing I need now before I buy these is a clutch. And before I get that I need money. Lol
