What street tire to replace slicks

The car is a J body Mirada (yes I know this is the A forum, but the J forum is pretty scarce). I don't believe the springs have been moved. I will double check the clearance on my way out for work. The slicks fit fine. I would like to go a little wider, but I don't know if I can on that wheel, and I don't really want to buy wheels. I was supposed to get new rear tires with the car but that's another story for another day.

I don't need insane traction as the car will spend more of it's life on the street than the strip. I'm going to take it to the strip occasionally but it will deff see a decent amount of street time. I would however like it to grip when I launch it.

I have heard that a tall tire can help if you have pretty steep gears. It has 4.86 now, but I am going to 4.10 before I put it on the street. I head the 28" tire will help with the gearing on the street.

I was also considering the firehawk indy.
