No subject has been discussed here more than this one. If you're looking for a rear tire only for the strip, then the most popular tires are MT ET Street (bead lock), Nitto 555Rii drag radial, and Toyo R888R. I'm currently using Toyos, which are a track tire, because they are good on every surface except wet/cold. I'll buy the NT 555 RII, P345/30R19 if and when it becomes available again. I might change to a 20" wheel.

The Mickey Thompson ET Street R is a Bias Ply Drag Tire, while Mickey Thompson's D.O.T.-approved ET Street S/S (Street/Strip) Radial Tire can be driven on street or strip. I tried the "R" tire in 2021 and 2022 and did not like the soft sidewall feel on the street or strip. I have not tried the S/S.
