tire decision

just getting my 69 convertible restro/mod runnung ... wondering about tire options for good street performance and maximum traction ... most of the tire guys are making a street/drag radial now ... has anyone out there tried the Toyo which came out late last year? my friend sells toyo tires ... which tire is most popular & effective for the A-Body, torkey big block application?
