If you can fit it, check out a phoenix ph362.Its a little bigger all around than the m\t's but has a pretty stiff sidewall, even though its not listed as such.I switched to this tire from the standard m/t and saw nearly .03 reduction in reaction time.I attribute that to the stiffer sidewall.Oh and they hook killer too, a little better than the mickeys, imo.

From what I've seen they're the widest tire that is designed for a 10" wheel.11.8" tread width.

Listen to Monte. M/T 29.5x10.5...get the W if you have room. If not, get the S (stiff sidewall).

M/T makes a Pro Drag Radial instead of the 2 full lines all the way around the tire they are staggered around the tire.These are what most of the Fast 275 Drag Radial guys around here are running.
PS Just saw where you said Drag Slicks,if you are going to run off road only drag slicks not DOT,many swear by M/T but I have found GoodYear to be the best at least for my use.

If you plan to run a true "slick".....and in that size range, there is ONE answer M/T. Put the 29.5 W on it, if it will fit. If not, use the 29.5 S (stiff sidewall). NO company has done more small tire development than M/T
A QTP will NOT 60ft as hard as a real slick, because the carcass is REALLY soft and tends to wad up, to make the treaded tire work better. The BEST 60ft on a treaded tire, will be a drag radial, but they are too hit and miss on a sketchy track and likely useless on the street most of the time
Monte
Kevin from Unlimited hooked me up w/a pair of 29.5 10.5x15-S lightly used slicks yesturday for free from a fellow N.M.C.A. racer who thaught they were done but found leaky shocks. They look damn near new so on they go for a Nova and Vette rematch and two more Chevys after that. Never been on a real slick w/this motor so now we`ll  and hope the 8 3/4 holds up...........
Mickey`s website says you can run higher pressures so what are you guys running w/these.............thankxxx..........
on the street it wont matter, good luck
