Real "Street" & Strip Tire that sticks!
MT Drag Radials: ET Street S/S
#3480 MT 305/35R18= 33 lbs. (11.2" Tread Width, 26.6" Dia. 'OEM' height) $321.50 ea.
#3483 MT 345/35R18= 38 lbs. (12.4" Tread Width, 27.8" Dia.) $317.99 ea.
Note: From my experience most C7/Z06s (stock) may get away with just cleaning (a short spin/no smoke) the tires off for full traction.

So the Mickey Thompson SR is what everyone is using for front runners? What if I wanna do roll racing 60-160..? Are there any other options for an 18x5 rim that has a higher speed rating than the 130 of the MT's? Since roll racing will see the tires being used for more than short bursts, and used as basically a street tire, are there any other options out there?

Looks like the largest diameter they offer is 17"... but M&H has some 18". Looks like a 28" and 185/50 @ 25.2.

They will arrive with the tires mounted/balanced.
The fronts have been here for about a month I think.
Track is closed anyway.

Only managed a 10.85@123 today. This track for sure is off timer wise compared to my regular track(Rockingham is a NHRA track and they have big pro events there so I assume their timing system has to be on point). Did manage a 1.55 60ft on the stock converter. and got a little air under the front tire a couple times today. It was leaving pretty good
