For drag radials, NT05R
For street tires, the MPSS.

On the drag radials, I have had phenomenal performance from Hoosier DR-2's.
315-30-18's on a 10" rear wheel.
Hooks consistently, smaller diameter than stock helps acceleration, and the lightest drag radials = faster.

mickey Thompson ET Drags are supposed to be awesome too, a bit heavier, more expensive, but last longer.
