Drag radials really necessary for this HP/weight?

My credo
Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Truck probably weighs 3k..hopefully a little under 3k when I'm done.. HP will be 200max.. at least for as long as the first set of tires lasts.

Do we think going full ham for a pair of drag radials would really be worth it? Or is getting a couple of regular old high performance tires going to be good enough?

Comparing some toyo proxy r888r's for example to MT dot drag radials.. about 40$ cheaper a piece.. and the proxys have a whopping .3/32s more tread depth which would extend their useful life by... A bit anyways. They're more of a road course tire by design but.. still sticky.. hmmm..

Thoughts?
 
Someone like @Maritime Drag Racing would probably be better qualified to answer that question than us 4X4 junkies.
