Default Which Tires for the Track ?

I just got a set of Chrome Z06 wheels to run on the street. I am keeping my stock sized Magnesium rims for the track,(VIR). I plan on driving to the track so I am planning on street legal tires. So if someone could make a recomendation for me I would greatly appreciate it. :party: :party: :party:

I am using a bfg drag radial on my front 98 rims. 275 40 17.
Slicks hook better but if you don't have any major mods d/r will work great. Plus you have to drive them to the track.
:cheers:
