Default Bracket Racer looking for tire suggestions

I've been running the last 3 seasons with Hoosier QTP 28x11.5x15 rear tires. My car is strictly a bracket car; doesn't drive on the street, always trailered.

Debating on changing to a drag radial because my Hoosiers wrinkle a lot and I'm losing 60'. I have Weld RTS's 15x10. Any recommendation on tires that I can count on to be consistent and not too dependent on track prep? I really like Hoosiers, but I am willing to try something new.

(BTW, they are on a 2002 Trans Am with a 9" and locker.)

Good looking car! Are the radials staying consistent on 60ft? Figured they are less forgiving on a marginal track.

The pro bracket radial is an awesome tire. Consistent 60’s, yes.

Op what size did you go with?
