get some drag radials or slicks. Semis are designed with a hard sidewall which is crap for 1/4mile racing ;)

Getting semis for the rear will only increase friction and slow you down.

Semis & stiff side walls are bad for Drags yes, but they are still a hell of a lot better that street tyres.

Agree. They are somewhat inbetween high performance road tyres and treaded slicks ( like MT streets for example )



To the OP - get some street legal slicks like these -

yes they will fit fine. They are 225 wide - sit fat on your rims but will suit for drag racing.
