Default Best street tires for dragging

Ive posted about tires lately, im either going to get a new set of wheels/tires or get just new tires for my STOCK wheels. They are the anthracite 2005 GT 17's. What would u recommend? Im with a 255/50 right now. And im only changing out a pair, not a whole set. So i need something that would work with those on also.
Thanks

Street = KUMHO (SPT) 255/50/17s , about $80 a piece, great tire !!

Drag = stick to 274/40/17 M/T ET Street Radials, or 26 x 11.5 x 17 ET Street Bias PLY

Don't bother using street tires to drag, waste of time and dangerous !!!

IMHO

Im using the nitto nt555(NOT R) right now and it is decent on the drag strip, but i did just as well with the stock pirellis... Only thing about putting the 275/40 on there is that it would be weird and really low profile compared to my 255/50 (difference between 50 and 40)
