mickeys are good, but brace yourself. a couple of hard weekends, and they're GONE. bfgs are good also, but the sidewalls go away if you're making some power. a friend of mine with a 1200 hp bb chevelle likes nittos. he's tried every tire on the planet. don't be afraid to experiment. your results may vary.
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

On my buddys Mustang we run the 325's and 315's till the cords show which is usually 35-40 passes and they hook just as good the last one as the first one. This a 3250 lb car running 4.80's @ 158mph.
One day I will have something cool here.

My car runs 12.30-12.60 with a 1.65 to 1.69 60 foot, depending on the air. I've got ~125 passes, 1 championship plus a bunch of street miles and abuse on my current set of 235/60/15 ET Street Radials. Can't go wrong with ET Street Radials.

now you've heard of someone who doesn't.
You must have them on a ridiculously fast car, or you're making 20+ passes per weekend. Not trying to pick a fight, but if they only last 2 good weekends then you're using them in an extreme situation. Most people using them go for quite a while on one pair. Like headsup said about his friend's 4 sec mustang, I run them until the chords show at around 45-50 passes. They still hook even with the chords showing. CHIP

I will say this, in florida a few weeks ago at outlaw radial tire race I did see most of the real street cars (275/60 tire class) running the Hoosiers. The guy with the silver dakota was runner-up at the race and I beleive he was running the hoosiers too. But 90% of the outlaw cars run the MT's. There are a few I have seen at MIR that love the new Goodyears sooo who knows, I guess its whatever your car likes too.
One day I will have something cool here.

Me too and I run a spool on the street with them.
I got 3 seasons out of my M/T radials before they started to lose 60'. I do a lot of local summer street driving and make about 30-40 passes at the track a year.
Very consistent 60' times in the 1.62 to 1.63 range.
