If you are looking for a true drag slick, Goodyears can't be beat IMHO.

Hooking a car on a big tire like that will make the tire last a lot longer. A 9 second xar on a 10 inch tire is another matter. We used to get about 20 passes out a pair on the NMRA car, after that our 60 foots started to go away. It's not about wearing the tread, it's about the sidewalls taking a major beating and starting to break down.
