Default tires for ss3600

Hey guys soon ill have my ss3600 installed and I'm concerned about traction. Car is 2001 ws6 with full bolt ons but will have a 228r and stage 2.5 ls6 heads in the next 6 months. I would like a tire that will grip with full bolt ons,I know traction will be limited after heads n cam. Are the bfg drag radials any good or should I just go with et streets? My rims are 18x9.5 c6 replicas. I know its not the best size rim for traction. Cars sees roughly 6000 Miles a year mainly on the weekends. And if drag radials are the only way,how long can I expect them to last with normal spirited driving?

Look at the Toyo drag radial or the ET streets. Maybe even a Nitto NT05.

They should last you 10-15k miles with normal driving and some track use or heavy fun mixed in.

Would you recommend maybe even a 315? Car is lowered on stranos. If I could get 10,000 out of a tire that would be awesome.
