First of all, what wheel size do you have for the front and rear, and secondly I do not know what you mean by "single groove irocs".

I have been running the MT ET Streets on the back of my '87 IROCZ with the stock 16"x8" factory IROCZ wheels. The tire size is (I think) 26x10.5D16.

The IROCZ wheels were 16"x8.0" and the factory tire size was P245/50R16. I know this for a fact because I am the only owner of my '87 IROCZ.
My recommendation is: for the front, run the BFG G-force TA KDWS P245/50R16, and for the rear, how about the BFG G-force TA Drag Radial P255/50R16.
