Default which tire set up for my hawk

i've got a stock 2001 firehawk i just put new BfG gforce t/a kdw s on the front and i've got kuhmos on the back ( which i hate btw) its a street driven car but never sees the rain so i'm not worried about wet performence or tire wear , i take to the drags strip and autox , .......so my question is what kind of tires should i put on the rear street bfgs like i have on the front or would it be better to go with street slicks

You should read the street tire comparison test I posted in this forum. They tell you well the tires did in rain and on dry pavement. They also tell you price and wear grade. Since you never see rain, I would pick the best tire from there based on dry tests, wear grade, and cost.

I'd get BF Goodrich KD's if it's dry and you can pay a bit extra.

If money's tight get KDW's

Drag radials good for the street would be Nitto 555r's on the back and Nitto 555's on the front.
