for steet legal ones I seem to remember somthing about  Nitto drag radials being a good street legal drag tyre.

these guys now more about drag racing tyres so it might be worth an ask in their forum http://www.ukstreetracers.co.uk/index2.html

If you are going for just strip use the use a 15"rim ? with the Hoosier tyres i know these work well cause i have run them on a old VW and i know guys that use them all the time. You want a good side wall and then just play with the tyre pressures untill you have a good balance.
