NT01s are amazing tires for ROAD RACING NOT DRAG RACING. Any low tread wear performance tire that isn't for drag racing is going to do horrible due to the hard sidewall and the fact that they need to be warmed up before they grip. I know Nitto makes a NT05R which would work for drag racing https://www.nittotire.com/Tire/Competition/nt05r

See what other people recommend as far as drag tires/radials go, but avoid road racing tires

I'd also look a the Hoosiers. Have zero complaints on that tire over the years. I can have them in stock within a couple of days depending on when ordered.

Best bet for EVO Drag Radial/Slick have to be M/H setup that is available through Buschur Racing
245/45/17(26" Diameter so really a 255/45/17) or 26x8.5x17" slick
Both of these option bolt up to stock wheel and they are well proven
