Tire selection advice

Ok everyone I need some advice on tire selection. I've been running Futura
Super Sport(Pep Boys) 295/50/15's on the rear and they SUCK for straight
line traction. I have a 5-speed with a 3.90 gear and a built 360, so I know
anything short of a drag tire is going to give me less then ideal traction.
What I want is a street tire that gives good straight line traction and
still handles decent in a 15" rim size, so I guess that leaves out Drag
Radials or similar tires. I was thinking of trying BFG Euro T/A's
305/50/15's in the rear and BFG Radial T/A's 255/60/15 in the front. Anyone
running the Euro T/A's? Any and all advice would be appreciated. Thanks,
