Need some tire help.... E/T Drags or E/T Radials

[TNTS79]

Car should run around 8.20's in the 1/8. Trying to decide wether or not to go with slicks or et steets. I am running a 12 bolt that is about 1/4 wider than a stock g-body rear, stock rails and wheel wells. Planning on running something in the neighborhood of a 275/60/15 drag radial or a 26x8.5x15 slick on a 15x8 rim with 4" of bs. Not sure what the weight comparison is between the tires in question, just figured I would throw this out and let you experts kick it around a little bit. Thanks in advance for the info....

You'll dead hook with either, the slicks will be SUBSTANTIALLY lighter.

That is awesome to know, I just picked up some 27x10x15's and I am sweating them going under mine. I really hope they fit on the 8" set of steelies I have... Mounting them on the rims tomorrow and the car later this week, fingers are crossed....
