You're not going to find a decent drag tire with that low profile and large diameter. The sidewall is going to be too skinny and way too hard. Might want to just look into a decent all around performance tire. The yokohama avs100's come in a wide variety of sizes, decent grip, and are pretty well priced.

I beleive bfg makes a g-force drag radial in 17". Maybe you should decide on whether or not you want to show or go? You def need to ditch the heavy 18's,a nd go with something smaller. Sounds like you got yourself a predicament though .
