Now what am I going to do!?

Well,
Its official... The Gatorbacks (my tires) are now past the wear marker and 2 are showing the steel belt in some places. I was hoping to get another month out of them....

As some of you know, I've got a P1SC Procharger sitting in my garage with all the pieces of my 83 that I'm trying to get back together (heater core swaps suck by the way...). Between the cash for the blower, and the extra cash for parts on the 83, I just don't have the cash right now for a set of dedicated wheels and drag radials for the track. So I'm looking for a good set of tires that will last a while on the street and track. I also want to find some that will handle a launch with my blower without having to pull 2.2+ 60 foot times. My best 60 foot to date on the no-grab Gatorbacks is a 2.1. It looks like drag radials aren't an option right now because they just won't last the way I wail on it sometimes.
I'm currently looking at some BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDs, while they seem to be good tires with a good bite for launches, 250 dollars a tire is kind of steep.

Any suggestions?
