Default What tires now?

I'm having 3.73's and SY 3500 installed as I type this. Now I know the runcraps aren't gonna cut it anymore. Is there a good all around tire that will decently hook up and fit on my stock size wheels. As far as drag tires go is there anything decent that I can mount on my old wagons for trips to the track?
