where to get slim front street/strip tires?

[daytona kid]

I have some 15x6 rims and have been looking at 205-75-15R-@27"tall tires for my 68 charger after thinking the ones on my trailer that size look about right. There seems to be not many available that aren't for trailers or have they have low speed rating. I'd like radials for sure. Any help, suggestions, info, pics, links, opinions, etc. will be appreciated.

I was doing the same search for similar sizes, ended up going with these MT’s

If you street drive a bunch.....get passenger-car tires. Hot-rod tires don't wear well.

What is your rim width? I've been looking at those but noticed a lot of bad reviews from a while back, maybe they've got better. The ones I need for 6" wide rim are the Sportsman S/R, LT 27x8R15 which are $221 each, kinda pricey. I may end up getting them anyway, they are perty, and have an H speed rating 130mph.... Not a lot of street driving planned.

I'll be driving it to some club gatherings 50%, some local 1/4 strip T&Ts 30% and a few strip competitions 15%, not a lot of street cruising 5% and 0% street racing. It's going to have a mild/wimpy 440 at first while building a higher hp 512 for later. I'm trying to put the car together as much as possible for the 512 so I won't have to replace as much stuff it. I doubt it'll ever go over 130mph.

I put over 1000 street miles a season an hope to get to the track 3 or 4 time.I use E/T Street R in the rear and E/T fronts.
The street rear is 16.5 X 31.slick is 10.5W X 29.After a few tries the street rear did hook at 9psi.

The front tires on my '65 Coronet are M/T, on American 5 spokes from Summit.
