Best Tire for Road race/Strip

Best Tire for Road race/Strip
I'm planning on competing in a local even that features the following events:
-Autocross Course
-Road Race
-0-60-0 acceleration/stopping
-1/4 mile pass
-600-ft Slalom
-Skid pad
Rules state that no wheel and tire changes are allowed, basically Run what you rolled up in when it comes to wheels/tires.
So my question is what's the best tire out there that would fit my 20" SSS rims that could handle every event well.
Thanks

that would be great , nitto has a track radial nt01 that would kick *** but not in 20 and larger.
what didnt you like about them ? i have heard quite a few good reviews and my g/f dad has them on his 37 ford.
i know chpspecial has them and liked them alot .
if there is a better option for a 20 or 22 in my case im all ears. but not finding much out there.
although the nitto 420 might not be bad just no experience.

Well, I guess y experience is pretty limited. A good friend of mine has them on his boltons mustang GT and they are HORRIBLE!!! It'll absolutely light them up in third and from what he's told me they aren't much better on a road course... Maybe with some more weight on them they would be better but I doubt it...
I know nitto makes alot of good track/street tires but idk how big... And I doubt they would be big enough either, but what about a Hoosier or the Michelin pilot sport's are really good...

Nitto NT05's, NT01's, Invo
Hankook makes some sort of radial also
Hoosiers make decent autocross radials as well
The KDW's are a **** tire! They are overrated and for the money, you won't be happy with them.
There are a few guys that bring their autocross wheel/tire setups into work to have us swap tires for them and they all have bad things to say about the KDW's
All of them run the 3 brands above and have had good luck with them
Hope that helps
