Can't pick out a tire.

I am looking for a 275/40/17 tire. I have some bald pirellis on there now and they absolutely blow, even when they had thread. My car is cammed right now and full boltons. Mostly a street car for nice days but it sees track and other things. Anyone know what kind of 60 foots i can run on kd's?

My thinkings:
-BFG KD's all around
-BFG KD's in front, BFG drag radials in back
-Nitto 555's up front and 555-rs in back

I cannot decide. I really want to do good at the track but I

At this point my car is all over the place. Fishtailing all over in 1st, and 2nd. I would like to actually stay in a straight line when accelerating and ripping gears. I have a full suspension too btw.

I'd buy a nice set of street tires and a set of drag radials for the track.

I can tell you that the BFG's wear really fast and they're not that great for traction. I ride around all the time with Nittos on.

You can save some money and just get some Hankooks or something similar up front. Look at www.discounttiredirect.com and see what they have. Free shipping.
