Do you require a DOT stamped tire? If not you may look into the Pro Drag Radial and the Pro Bracket Radial. Both are available in a 29.5/10.5R15 which is equivalent to your current size. Hoosier also makes a 295/65/15 drag radial which works really well and has a DOT stamp.

The old et streets should be enough tire to rip your rear end out.

How is the track prep?

The track has been great and the best ive been is 1.73 but usually im in the 1.80-90´s, but never consistent, im sure theres something missing in my suspension, i just ordered viking double adjustable shocks from atomic see if that does the trick, i set the two step lets say to 3500 rpm and make 10 psi of boost then i leave it hooks-front suspension goes up and falls right back on its face then rear goes up in smoke

This is my suspension right now:
Front:
-2" lowered with spindles
-swaybar removed
-driver side has a 3/4" spacer to correct that the driver side was lower
-cheap monroe shocks

Rear:
-4" lowered with shackles and a small bracket that sets the front side of the leaf spring higher
-Shocks relocated
-rancho 9 position single adjustables
-selfmade tractionbars wish should be exacly the same as caltracks
-mickey thompson ET street radial

The carrier preload shims won't be the same for the G80 vs the Eaton. Somewhere in my build thread I listed the exact shims I ended up with on my Eaton Trutrac. It was always 100% silent. Stock 3.42 gears with the original ring gear transferred over to the Trutrac. I didn't remove the pinion gear or change the pinion shims.
