Default Tires for 17x11 and 18x8 welds

Hi,

I just bought a set of weld wheels 17x11 rears and 18x8 fronts for a street/strip setup. Which drag radial would you guys recommend and which tire should I go with for the fronts. If you include sizes I would be grateful.

Thanks

Run a 315/35/17 tire... Is the wheel set up for street or strictly track? I run the Hoosiers on mine but on the street they would run down quicker than the mickeys would. The smaller tire will help @ the track and be plenty for 510 wheel... I make a couple hundred more wheel than that and I run the 315 @ the track...

I went with the wider fronts for better handing, I think it will be a both street and track set up. So I think the mickys will work better for me.
