Mickey Thompson Sportsman tires.
They were a street legal alternative to drag slicks, and were really popular with the Pro Street crowd, and others, back in the later 1970's and 80's.
They are mid '70's technology and, I believe, were not radials.
I am not sure if they are still available.

The Sportsmans are still available from Summit I know for sure. I actually liked the Pro-Trac radials back in the day a little better, as an all around street-strip tire. The had the same basic tread pattern, but were a lot cheaper. MH still makes the old Cheater Slick tire we used for our barely legal street cars. It is a DOT street legal tire, but only has like 2 treads on it. It is the hot ticket for a sticky tire that will never see the rain. Good luck.
