I run a set of DOT Racemaster tires by M&H. Stock axles and stock clutch, no LSD. If you have upgraded axles you should be ok.

Granted they're not drag tires, but I run R-comps on the road course and they're fine aside from abnormal tire wear. My track is almost all right hand turns, so the left front gets a LOT of abuse and the rubber just peels away off of whatever tire is up there.
