Default Drag Radials

Alright guys, Im know im getting drag radials. My car is a Street/Strip car. Thought I'd ask here to see if anybody has seen a difference in a certain radial (Good info or even what not to go with) . I'm not sure with what brand i want to go with, so any suggestions will be appriciated.

The Micky Thompson is a great tire although it will wear pretty fast on the street. I have the BFG and I have been 1.54 in the 60' on them, so I know for a fact that they will hook very well. I get about one summer of use out of a set and thats with going to the track about once per month and driving every weekend and about 3 days during the week.

I'd Suggest another set of rear wheeels with the drag radials mounted to them. Change them at the track. They'll wear out plenty fast.
