id say azenis too. Yes they are too heavy, but ive also heard alot of people whining because the sidewalls are to stiff for drag racing. i believe there is some truth in this but that unless you are making gobs of torque or launching at rediculously high rpms then you have nothing to worry about. i used to run azenis on my old BB1 and while yes they were heavy and slowed me down a bit, their cornering grip was unmatched, esspecially for the price. in my book Azenis=

Azenis are good and very affordable compared to all others, Nitto 555r for street/drag, Kuhmo MX's and Vitoracers.
