Default Drag radials vs Drag pack

I intend to go to the drag once every month or two. Maybe 3 ha. Do a lot of street pulls.

Do you guys recommend I throw some drag radials on a pair of stockers I got and use at track and on street from time to time as I drive only 200 miles a month. That way I get use most all the time. Or should I purchase a set of rims and drag tires? Which is more costly and puts more strain on drivetrain launching.

What tire do you recommend if so.

I am running 315 40R 18 Nitto 555g2 on the rear. It’s a regular street tire. They also make a drag radial 555 R2 but they were on back order when my welds came in. I’m switching to a drag radial very soon. 26x6.00 18 on the front. I’ve heard 28’s will rub. Hope this helps.

Probably put drag radials on my stockers for the street. What size drag tires for dedicated wheels is recommended?
