Default New Shoes

Hello all. The 5.0 is needing tires. The car is not really a daily driver, but occasionally gets thrust into DD usage when one of the other cars needs service. It will only see the track for runs to measure the effectiveness of any mods I may make in the future. What are some suggestions of a good blend of tread wear and traction? Money is no issue, I just want some nice new shoes.

You can always put some ET Streets or drag radials on the back, maybe some skinnies up front...

Yea. I considered it. I would like to keep the Ponies and go with good all weather tires although it is mostly driven in nice weather. The car will be set up for all around handling-not just drag. Any other suggestions?
