To your first question, there is no such animal. The best street tire that will also hook will be a drag radial. BFG,MT ET streets.

MT ET's will wear faster than BFG's

If you get a BFG Drag T/A to last 10k miles... you drive like an old lady

the Nitto drag radial is inbetween in terms of tread life and traction, hooks good for a street tire and at the track but still lasts relatively long. Discount tire direct sells Nitto for decent price i think. Also look at the BFG KDW tire, aweosme street tire with good traction as well.
