Default Drag radials

I have a 98TA A4 with a full exhaust, lid, and FTRA. What type of drag radials should I get? It is my daily driver so getting 12,000 miles out of the tires would be preferable if possible.

I run MT ET streets DR's on my car. But wouldn't drive them in the rain.. All the car wants to do is slide.. You could try the nittos they are alot better to drive in the rain..
