Best street gripping tire for drag racing?
What is currently the best tire for gripping on the street? I drag race and am trying to figure this one out. I know nittos and toyo proxys are good. What would you guys say are the best?

ET Streets are probably the stickiest your going to get in a dot tire, but I wouldn't recommend driving around on them all night through town and down the hwy. They look like slicks with 3 small ridges cut out of them.

Nittos if you want to do daily driving
BFG's if you do casual driving and want decent traction in rain..etc
ET streets if you have spare rims and drive to track and back
Yes the BFG's hook better then Nittos
I have BFG DR's (255/50/16) got as low as 1.6' 60 foot (stock suspension)
and Ari and Ernie.T and Steve K have got 1.5 60's out of them with good adjustable suspension
Later I plan to get a pair of ET streets so I can have more consistant 60' foot times
Or get some Tokico 5-way and better springs for the Drag Radials

Et Streets are sized differently - 26 x 10.5 fits on the stock 16" wheel.
They are not for riding around. Put em on, drive to the drag strip, race, drive home, and take them off.
They are biased belted, not radials, but they really grip for drag racing.
No cornering, no tread to speak of, no wet weather use, single purpose, quarter mile tire. Nothing better for drag racing.
