Best hooking street tires?

Seems like the M/T E/T street radials, and tires like them, work well on cars that run as quick as low 12's in the 1/4 mile. I have seen an occasional high 11 second pass with these tires, but the chassis was set up just right in order to make them work. I gave up and just tubbed it and put some meat under the back end. Traction issues solved... (for now) lol Let us know what you end up doing and how it works out for you.... Oldschool
