Since I'm driving from AZ, I opted for a good grip and street tire.

Continental ExtremeContact DW. These have 340 Treadlife, BUT this years Modified Magazine Tuner Shootout had contestants run these tires and they actually put down impressive track times along with being streetable. I picked them up through my local tuning shop for about $76 a tire (wholesale cost on the closeout).
