Best street tires?

What are the overall best tires for street use and an occasional pass down the strip? Obviously slicks are the best for the track but what street tire would hook up the best? Right now I have cooper cobras on my duster and will be getting new tires in the spring. I currently have 195-70-14 on the front and 215-70-14 on the rear. I am looking into getting 15's for the rear and a wider tire, I was thinking about 245-60-15's for the rear. BF Goodrich pooped into my mind first since they seem the most common. Any opinions on them? Thanks
