Lots of people seem to like BFG street tires. Whats your reason for not wanting a drag radial? treadwear? rain? You should really look into the Nitto DR's as they are a great tire for what they are. Awesome on the street, acceptable in the rain, last a good while, etc.

+1 on the Vredesteins.
My father is running the Vredesteins and I am ridiculously impressed with their performance. Their wet performance is amazing. Their dry is better than the Nitto 555's from my experience. I would buy them as a street tire if I was looking for them.
