Drag Radials for 18's

anyone have any personal experience with them?if so what brand and how do they hook.i dont expect them to be just a dead hooking tire with only a 35/40 sidewall but just want something a lil better than the ol Sport Piolets lol.

I have Nitto 305/35ZR18 drag radials on my Z28 in my sig. With my 614 RWHP they dead hooked last year when they were new, but now they spin a bit in 1st and a bit into 2nd gear.

Granted most guys with 100 less RWHP are having much worse traction issues than me.

Here's a vid of me trashing on them last year when they were new (1st-4th gear WOT)

And heres a very recent vid of me opening it up in 1st gear vs a Cobra;
