Tire opinions

Looking for tires for my car debating on some ET street radials, hoosier drags, or nt05r's, something like that,

Ive tried RE-11s which weren't bad at all just looking for a little more grip but still wanna least get 8k outta the tires for the summer probably gonna go 245s im putting down about 330 at the wheels would like to minimize or completely get rid of spinning in second. mainly a straight line car, may go to the track 2-3 times this summer but that's about it

have some used star specs im gonna try that are 245s but still looking for opinions???

If all you're doing is straight line, you might as well go with drag radials. Pretty much all of the other extreme summer only tires are meant for cornering and have stiff sidewalls...

Check out also the NT555r. For the price, they are good bang for the buck.
