Default best dot drag tire?

i'm going to be running a car in a dot aproved only tire class, and i wanted some input. the tire doesnt have to last, doesnt have to be radial, it simply has to be dot aproved.

was planning on going with a 325/50r15 ET street. anything stickier?

I have a friend that runs these and they are the best I've seen so far..
Street & Strip (D.O.T.)

He runs the 235/60/15 since they all seem a bit differant size to size..

tons stickier, the 325 is a radial with a slightly harder compound.

Everyone has a large selection of compounds, so look to see what works best for you. Remember, if you find a stickier compound, you can get away with a skinnier tire to cut down on drag/rotating mass/friction

personal preference, i really like the M&H Cheaters in a 26x10.5x15 with a screwed rim. it runs their HB11 compound
