One thing for sure, the treadwear will be short with your burnouts. 220 is a soft tread.

I have Kuhmo Ecsta's on my Firebird (LS1). While the sidewall is alittle softer than I would like, makes good for traction going straight.
My drag radials have a treadwear of 100, so a 220 is still relatively soft.
Overall, a good tire for the money, and better traction than my origional Goodyear ZR's that came on the Bird.
