Everybody runs differently, what works for some might not work for others,
My 2 cents on tires is this Front tires don't mean squat, so go with the ones that are less expensive (unless they are paying out tire contingency) to save some bux.
The rear tires IMO are too wide stick with 12" but that may require new wheels also. Misconception that a wider tire will give you more traction on a marginal surface with a dragster. it makes things worse because you are trying to work a bigger tire that floats, A narrower tire offers more lbs per sq inch on the surface and is lighter. Tire brand?? whatever is easiest to come by. But I think the (can be more expensive) GOODYEARS, have a little more traction life in them
