Folks,

My car just failed it's MOT on the tread on the rear tires and needing to source new ones now.

Not sure what to go for though. The car will mainly be used now for road legal drag type stuff so do I:
1) go with a sticky tire that will also be suitable for limited road use
or
2) buy good road tires AND a separate set (still road legal) but explicitly for the strip?

Advice on brands and suppliers would be most welcome!

Thanks in advance.
