Default Street Tires

What are some of the best tires I can run on the street to help destroy my differential?

Low profile, 19 rim, 275-295 wide.

The NT01 works great on the street when it's dry. I never drove in the rain with them.

BFG KDWS NT, but Id wait because they are coming out with a new version of them soon. I have them on the Ty, had them on my Goat and Eclipse and they are awesome tires.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

NT05's work excellent in the rain, even better when dry. They lasted the longest of all my tires.

BFG looks cool. Cheap too, but the closest avail diameter is plus one inch.

NT01s dont come in my size. Ill look at the 05s.

Looking at the Hosier A6. They have an A version and an R version. The A version is for cool temps, and the R version is a full on race tire. Im thinking the A type would work better since the R type prob has to get hot like an actual slick before it works well.

I thought you wanted a street tire. The Hoosier isn't a street tire.

If its DOT, it's a street tire

DOT approved is fine by me. I don't drive it in the rain. I want the best tires I can run on the street. By best I mean best for traction, not even necessarily for legality or common purposes.

I wasn't sure if certain tires are made to grip better on track surfaces, vs typical asphalt/ cement, and at room temp vs heated. It seems like the Hosier A series would be best for me, as opposed to the R series which stick best when heated.
