I am sure you had everything figured out when you started racing...

Try looking into the Bridegstone RE11s. From what I've been reading, these are the stickiest non R compound tire that don't require heat like the Rs...these will be my next set.

The sizes for that tire are somewhat limited currently. I would also recommend that you pay attention to the load index rating. On our heavy cars I wouldn't go below 98 (1,653lbs rating per tire). The Michelin's I was runnig on the 20" rims were rated at only 93 (1,433lbs)...and both tires blew out. Maybe it was just a coincidence...but I have now become acutely aware of the load ratings.

You wanna get better traction on the street roll around with mickey thompson et street radials. I have R888's and can spin them pretty easily. Much better than a street tire but not as good as a drag radial. Just some advice

^^Definitely bring radials if I am going to run someone, but for cruising the R888s are pretty good. I had them on my E.
