Default Which Drag Radials?

I have a 2006 Mustang GT with the current tire size of 235/55/18. Which drag radials should I get? I want some that will perform beautifully. I am also curious about what tires I should run in the front of the car. Im looking for a set of used stock GT rims that I can put the radials on so I can just swap them out when I go to the track.

I've heard you can't go wrong with the MT 265/40/18 or the M&H 275/40/18. Maybe someone with firsthand experience will chime in. I have an extra pair of rims waiting for the M&H's.... if only someone would send money...

Haha quite the hint there. How much are you charging for the rims?

I think if you plan on doing a swap at the strip, dont get the nittos. M&H's seem to be a winner.
