RE: Best tires?
Goodyear Eagles are EXCELLENT tires.
MT ET streets are also very popular with the street/strip guys because they are very sticky, but there isnt exactly that much "tread" on them, so they arnt really all season tires.
Almost all the guys in hotrods "pump gas drags" ran ET streets too.

Oh yeah, and As far as my expeirience with kart tires, I think Dunlop Tires are very good tires, at least thier kart tires.
Not a Big fan of yokohoma's (theres a reason nobody runs them)
and Bridgestone tires are just "OK"

Eagles suck. They are hard as a brick. There is a reason that 90% of people go to a different brand after their stock eagles wear out. If they were so great, everyone would remount eagles. Please disregard they suggestion about goodyear. MT is gonna be ur best bet.

RE: Best tires?
Do you want drag racing tires or do you want street tires. Two different animals when you really think about it. If it sticks for the street, then it will become a less viable choice for wet and winter conditions.
I hear a lot of folks talk up the Nitto D/R, but others say they don't hook.
Good years don't stick like M/Ts, but they do okay. (The price is what drives folks away) Yokohama also makes decent tires, but not for drag racing.
Don't forget that changes in the suspension will help your 'hook up' also.
It would help if we knew what you were running. Are you bone stock? Blown? Juiced?
