Tell you what.... dollar for dollar it is hard to beat Hoosier street radials. They are a bit pricey but you should be able to get them within driving distance. Even getting them from Summit or Herbert is still not very expensive as far as shipping.
They will work on anything way down in to the 11 sec car depending on size. You don't have to burn the p...s out of them either. Drive up and run just as you would on the street. With 16 inch wide ones, my Willys just takes a big grunt and goes, they don't even squeel. Definetly turn a lot of sq in of pavement black LOL especially on the street.
They even last a lot of miles.
