Drag Radial tires.

M/T. Drag radials or slicks.

M&H Race Master tires.

Goodyear Drag racing slicks.

Nitto drag radials.

BF Goodrich Drag radials.

M/T - Mickey Thompson Drag radials are my personal favorite.
Side wall is marked " Treadwear - 000 " LOL

What do you mean half the tread? Only 1 tire spinning?

with a low gear a stroker and rubber band tires with no sidewall youll always have that issue unless you get a sticky tire on it.

First Ive seen 4.56 in one

My thoughts as well. Have you confirmed gearing?
